GEEARS had no income from unrelated activities and has no income taxes due as of June 30, 2023 and 2022.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 2020. false QUALITY CARE FOR CHILDREN 3 CORPORATE BLVD NE STE 230 ATLANTA GA 30329 582400285 501(C)(3) 10000 0 PAACT SCHOLARSHIPS 1 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b THE ORGANIZATION'S ACCOUNTANT PROVIDES A COPY OF FORM 990 TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND FINANCE COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW.
