| Explanation | DETERMINATION OF WHETHER TAX BENEFITS CLAIMED OR EXPECTED TO BE CLAIMED ON A TAX RETURN SHOULD BE RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. UNDER THAT GUIDANCE, THE SCHOOL MAY RECOGNIZE THE TAX BENEFIT FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION ONLY IF IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED ON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. EXAMPLES OF TAX POSITIONS INCLUDE THE TAX-EXEMPT STATUS OF THE SCHOOL AND VARIOUS POSITIONS RELATED TO THE POTENTIAL SOURCES OF UNRELATED BUSINESS TAXABLE INCOME (UBIT). THE 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 SETTLEMENT. FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2025 AND EARLIER THE SCHOOL WAS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENT OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT TO OFFER HEALTH INSURANCE TO ITS EMPLOYEES. AS OF JULY 31, 2025, THE IRS HAD ASSESSED NO PENALTIES FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2025, 2024, OR 2023. HOWEVER, AS DISCUSSED IN NOTE 11, THE SCHOOL RECEIVED AN ASSESSMENT FROM THE IRS ON NOVEMBER 15, 2024 FOR THE EMPLOYER SHARED RESPONSIBILITY PAYMENT FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 2022 FOR 58,547. THIS PAYMENT WAS MADE, AND NO ASSESSMENT FROM THE IRS WAS RECEIVED DURING THE YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2025. | ExplanationTxt |
