Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

“Wild South is exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Code, however, income from certain activities not related to an organization's tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Wild South had no income from unrelated business activities during the 2021 fiscal year and was, therefore, not required to file Federal Form 990-T (Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return). Wild South believes that it has appropriate support for all tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Wild South is exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Code, however, income from certain activities not related to an organization's tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Wild South had no income from unrelated business activities during the 2021 fiscal year and was, therefore, not required to file Federal Form 990-T (Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return). Wild South believes that it has appropriate support for all tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.
