ExplanationGEEARS qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, is only subject to federal or state income taxes on specific types of income from activities that are unrelated to its exempt purpose. GEEARS had no income from unrelated activities and has no income taxes due as of June 30, 2024 and 2023.GEEARS application of ASC 740 regarding uncertain tax positions had no effect on its financial position as management believes GEEARS has no material unrecognized income tax benefits, including any potential risk of loss of its not-for-profit tax status. GEEARS would account for any potential interest or penalties related to possible future liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits as income tax expense. GEEARS is no longer subject to examination by federal, state or local tax authorities for periods before 2021.ExplanationTxt
