Additional Explanations

FORM 990 PART XII, LINE 2C:

“There have been no changes to the processes from the prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Creativity explored applies the provisions set forth in financial accounting standards board (fasb) accounting standards codification topic 740 to account for the uncertainty in income taxes. Management has assessed all income tax positions taken where the statute of limitations remains open. Examples of these tax positions include creativity explored's tax-exempt status and potential sources of ubti. Management believes that its tax filing position will be sustained upon tax examination; therefore, no liability for unrecognized income tax benefits has been recorded at june 30, 2020.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under the internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) and state of california section 23701(d), except on the income derived from unrelated business activities. The organization does not believe it has unrelated business income to be reported for tax purposes. In addition, the organization believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken to date, and therefore, has no related income tax due for all years where the statute of limitations remains open, which is generally three years for federal filings and four years for california filings.”
