“Wpa is exempt from the payment of income taxes on income other than net unrelated business income under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Wpa performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions as of august 31, 2023 and 2022, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or that may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. As of august 31, 2023, the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2020 through 2023 remains open with the u.s. Federal jurisdiction or the state and local jurisdiction in which wpa files tax returns. It is the wps's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense.”
