| Explanation | THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ("IRS")AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 501(C)(6) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC) AND IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES ON RELATED INCOME PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(A) OF THE IRC. THE ORGANIZATION FOLLOWS GUIDANCE ISSUED BY THE FASB REGARDING ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES. THIS GUIDANCE CLARIFIES THE ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES BY PRESCRIBING THE MINIMUM RECOGNITION THRESHOLD AN INCOME TAX POSITION IS REQUIRED TO MEET BEFORE BEING RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND APPLIES TO ALL INCOME TAX POSITIONS. EACH INCOME TAX POSITION IS ASSESSED USING A TWO-STEP PROCESS. A DETERMINATION IS FIRST MADE AS TO WHETHER IT IS MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THAT THE INCOME TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED, BASED UPON TECHNICAL MERITS, UPON EXAMINATION BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES. IF THE INCOME TAX POSITION IS EXPECTED TO MEET THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT CRITERIA, THE BENEFIT RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS EQUALS THE LARGEST AMOUNT THAT IS GREATER THAN 50% LIKELY TO BE REALIZED UPON ITS ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT. THE INCOME TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE ORGANIZATION FOR ANY YEARS OPEN UNDER THE VARIOUS STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS ARE (1) THAT THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO BE EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES AND (2) THAT THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT HAVE UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME THAT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO INCOME TAXES. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THESE TAX POSITIONS MEET THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THRESHOLD AND, ACCORDINGLY, THE TAX BENEFITS OF THESE INCOME TAX POSITIONS (NO INCOME TAX EXPENSE OR LIABILITY) HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR THE YEARS ENDED ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THERE ARE NO TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN THAT WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE OR DECREASE UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF THE REPORTING DATE. NONE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S FEDERAL OR STATE INFORMATION RETURNS ARE CURRENTLY UNDER EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE OR STATE AUTHORITIES. | ExplanationTxt |
