In addition, the Society qualifies for charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b)(1)(a). The Society did not identify any material unrecognized tax benefits upon evaluation of tax positions taken and therefore, there was no material effect on the Society's financial condition or results of operations. The Society evaluates at each statement of financial position date uncertain tax positions taken, if any, to determine the need to record liabilities for taxes, penalties, and interest. The Society's policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Society had no accrued taxes, interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Society estimates the unrecognized tax benefit will not change significantly within the next twelve months.
