Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The school is recognized by the internal revenue service as a not-for-profit organization under irs code section 501(c)(3). Due to the not-for-profit nature and provisions of the school, all income and expenses attributable to the mission of the school are tax exempt and accordingly no provisions or liability for income taxes have been made in the financial statements and contributions to the school are tax deductible to donors as allowed by irs regulations. However, the school is required to pay state and federal income taxes on unrelated business income. If the school were to engage in any activities that resulted in unrelated business income, a tax would be assessed on that activity. The school is open and subject to examination generally for three years after the filing date.
