Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote

“The Organization evaluates uncertainty in income tax positions based on a more-likely-than-not recognition standard. If that threshold is met, the tax position is then measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If applicable, the Organization records interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. Tax years from inception in 2017 through the current year remain open for examination by tax authorities.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Organization evaluates uncertainty in income tax positions based on a more-likely-than-not recognition standard. If that threshold is met, the tax position is then measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If applicable, the Organization records interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. Tax years from inception in 2017 through the current year remain open for examination by tax authorities.
