FORM 990, PART V, LINE 2A:

“Tesseract, inc. Is related to tesseract research center, inc., who is the common paymaster for tesseract, inc. Form w-2s and all employment tax returns for compensation reported on this form 990 are issued and filed by tesseract research center, inc.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Tesseract, inc. Is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(4) of the internal revenue code. However, entities that are classified under this section of the code are taxed on "unrelated business income" as defined by irs regulations. The organization had no unrelated business income for the year ended december 31, 2017. Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require tesseract, inc. To evaluate tax positions taken and recognize a tax liability if it is more likely than not that uncertain tax positions taken would not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The organization has analyzed tax positions taken and has concluded that, as of december 31, 2017, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. For the year ended december 31, 2017, the organization had no interest and penalties related to income taxes. Tesseract, inc. Is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The organization's return is subject to examination by taxing authorities, generally for a period of three years after the returns are filed.”
