Form And Line ReferencePart X : FIN48 FootnoteFormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationALA is incorporated in Pennsylvania as a not-for- profit organization. A determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service was received on June 19, 1972 for ALA stating that it is exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(6). To the extent unrelated business income exists, ALA would be subject to income taxes.The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Associations tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained when challenged or when examined by the applicable tax authority. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, management has determined that there were no material uncertain tax positions. Income tax liabilities and prepaid expenses resulting from unrelated business income tax are reported in the statements of financial position as accrued expenses and prepaid income taxes, respectively.
