“Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes (fasb asc section 740-10), formally fin 48, is applicable for the year ended december 31, 2017. A determination is made whether there are any income tax (unrelated business income) accruals and deferred income taxes under fin 48. If there are such accruals, they should be recorded.
