Schedule D, Part V, Line 4Restoration of Trolleys
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2The Organization has received an exemption from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization is required to make the appropriate tax payments on any income considered unrelated to its exempt purpose. Management of the Organization evaluates all significant tax positions required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. At December 31, 2022, management does not believe that it has taken any tax position that would require the recording of any additional tax liability nor does it believe that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase of decrease within the next twelve months. The Organization's income tax returns are subject to examination by the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2022, the Organization's federal and state tax returns generally remain open for examination for years after December 31, 2019.
