| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | The Lodge has adopted the provision of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Management believes that it has appropriate support for the unrelated business taxable income (UBTI) position taken and, as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that impact its financial position, statement of activities or change in net assets. The Lodge has incurred no interest or penalties related to its tax positions. The Palo Alto Elks Lodge is subject to taxation in the United States and California jurisdictions. The Lodge's 2018 through 2020 tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for federal tax purposes, and 2017 through 2020 tax years remain subject to examination by state tax authority. |
