Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The charter school is a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and applicable state regulations and, accordingly, is exempt from federal and state taxes on income. The charter school files form 990 tax returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction. The tax returns for the years ended june 30, 2019 through june 30, 2022 are still subject to potential audit by the irs. Management of the charter school believes it has no material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly it has not recognized any liability for unrecognized tax benefits.”
