Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The modified cash basis of accouting requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the local partnership and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the local partnership has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the internal revenue service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the local partnership, and has concluded that as of june 30, 2018, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The local partnership is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.”
