Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Income taxes: the school, a nonprofit organization operating under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, is generally exempt from federal, state and local income taxes, and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes is included in the financial statements. Financial accounting standards board (fasb), accounting standards codification 740, income taxes (asc 740) requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more-likely-than-not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of june 30, 2015, management has assessed its various tax positions and it believes there are no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The school's tax returns are subject to examination by the internal revenue service, generally for three years after they are filed”
