Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The 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 school files form 990 tax returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction. The tax returns for the period ended june 30, 2019 and the year ended june 30, 2020 are still subject to potential audit by the irs. Management of the school believes it has no material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly it will not recognize any liability for unrecognized tax benefits.”
