Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The school is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and applicable district of columbia income tax laws. Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The school performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions as of june 30, 2021 and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements, or which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. As of june 30, 2021, the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2020 through 2021 remains open with the u.s. Federal jurisdiction and local jurisdictions in which the school files tax returns. It is the school's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE SCHOOL IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND APPLICABLE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA INCOME TAX LAWS. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PROVIDE CONSISTENT GUIDANCE FOR THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES RECOGNIZED IN AN ENTITY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PRESCRIBE A THRESHOLD OF "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" FOR RECOGNITION OF TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN A TAX RETURN. THE SCHOOL PERFORMED AN EVALUATION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AS OF JUNE 30, 2021 AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WERE NO MATTERS THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, OR WHICH MAY HAVE ANY EFFECT ON ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. AS OF JUNE 30, 2021, THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2020 THROUGH 2021 REMAINS OPEN WITH THE U.S. FEDERAL JURISDICTION AND LOCAL JURISDICTIONS IN WHICH THE SCHOOL FILES TAX RETURNS. IT IS THE SCHOOL'S POLICY TO RECOGNIZE INTEREST AND/OR PENALTIES RELATED TO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS, IF ANY, IN INCOME TAX EXPENSE.
