Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization recognizes the tax benefit from any uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the tax position. Any tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Management has analyzed the organization's tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in the organization's tax returns for the period ended june 30, 2020. The organization identifies its major tax jurisdictions as u.s. Federal and the commonwealth of massachusetts; however, the organization is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The organization also follows the policy to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits (if any) in income tax expense. No such interest and penalties have been recorded as of june 30, 2020.”
