Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote CC is a not-for-profit organization, exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and from Illinois state income tax. Accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes is included in the consolidated financial statements. There were no income tax related interest or penalties recognized by CC for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. CC does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. CC would recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. CC follows guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded.
