Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is a nonprofit organization that is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Furthermore, the internal revenue service has ruled that the organization is a publicly supported organization and is not a private foundation. The organization 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 it is 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 june 30, 2025 and 2024, the organization has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.”
