ExplanationSDF evaluates uncertainty in income tax positions based on a more-likely-than-not recognition standard. If that threshold is met, the tax position is then measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2023, there are no accruals for uncertain tax positions. If applicable, the Organization records interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. The current period December 31, 2023 remains open for examination by tax authorities.ExplanationTxt
