TCAD had no income from unrelated activities and has no income taxes due as of September 30, 2022 and 2021. TCADs application of ASC 740 regarding uncertain tax positions had no effect on its financial position as management believes TCAD has no material unrecognized income tax benefits, including any potential risk of loss of its not-for-profit tax status. TCAD would account for any potential interest or penalties related to possible future liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits as income tax expense. TCAD is no longer subject to examination by federal, state or local tax authorities for periods before 2018. X X X X false false false false false false false false false CHARLES A WADE EXEC.
