Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

Under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, the ministry is exempt from taxes on income other than unrelated business income. The ministry had no unrelated business income for the years ended september 30, 2024 and 2023. The ministry utilizes the accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of financial accounting standards board (fasb) asc 740, income taxes. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when its more-likely-than-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. It also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of september 30, 2024 and 2023, the ministry has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
