“Footnote Disclosure-Uncertain Tax Positions Under ASC 740 (Source: Consolidated Financial Statements-St. Luke's Health System Fiscal Year 2024) Income Taxes - The Health System is a not-for-profit corporation and is recognized as tax-exempt pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Health System has activities that are considered unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI"), which are subject to income tax. The Health System also has two taxable subsidiaries, the Network, and the Plan whose operations are included in the consolidated financial statements and as such we have provided for income taxes on this activity under the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740. For the Health System's taxable subsidiary and activities considered UBTI, income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of Deferred Tax Assets ("DTAs") and Deferred Tax Liabilities ("DTLs") for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, the Health System determines DTAs and DTLs based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on DTAs and DTLs is recognized in results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. The Health System recognizes DTAs to the extent that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Health System considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Health System determines that DTAs are realizable in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Health System would make an adjustment to the DTA valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The Health System records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Health System determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Health System recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. Management is not aware of any uncertain tax positions that should be recorded.”
