Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The foundation analyzes its filing positions in the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years (fiscal 2021 through 2024) in these jurisdictions to identify potential uncertain tax positions. The foundation treats interest and penalties attributable to income taxes, and reflects any charges for such, to the extent they arise, as a component of its general operating expenses. The foundation concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the combining financial statements. The foundation does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits ("utb") (e.g. Tax deductions, exclusions, or credits claimed or expected to be claimed) to significantly change in the next twelve months. The foundation does not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties related to utbs at march 31, 2024 or 2023 and is not aware of any claims for such amounts by federal or state income tax authorities.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE FOUNDATION ANALYZES ITS FILING POSITIONS IN THE FEDERAL AND STATE JURISDICTIONS WHERE IT IS REQUIRED TO FILE INCOME TAX RETURNS, AS WELL AS ALL OPEN TAX YEARS (FISCAL 2021 THROUGH 2024) IN THESE JURISDICTIONS TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. THE FOUNDATION TREATS INTEREST AND PENALTIES ATTRIBUTABLE TO INCOME TAXES, AND REFLECTS ANY CHARGES FOR SUCH, TO THE EXTENT THEY ARISE, AS A COMPONENT OF ITS GENERAL OPERATING EXPENSES. THE FOUNDATION CONCLUDED THAT THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS REQUIRING RECOGNITION IN THE COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE FOUNDATION DOES NOT EXPECT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS ("UTB") (E.G. TAX DEDUCTIONS, EXCLUSIONS, OR CREDITS CLAIMED OR EXPECTED TO BE CLAIMED) TO SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGE IN THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS. THE FOUNDATION DOES NOT HAVE ANY AMOUNTS ACCRUED FOR INTEREST AND PENALTIES RELATED TO UTBS AT MARCH 31, 2024 OR 2023 AND IS NOT AWARE OF ANY CLAIMS FOR SUCH AMOUNTS BY FEDERAL OR STATE INCOME TAX AUTHORITIES.
