Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

Wfi is exempt from the payment of income taxes on its exempt activities under section 501(c)(6) of the internal revenue code. Wfi follows the financial accounting standards board accounting standards codification, which provides guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in wfi's financial statements, if any. As of december 31, 2024, wfi had no unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions in its information return that would qualify for either recognition or disclosure in its financial statements. Wfi's policy would be to recognize interest and penalties on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. Through december 31, 2024, there have been no matters that would have resulted in an accrual for interest and/or penalties. Generally, the three prior tax years are subject to examination by federal, state, or local taxing authorities.
