ACI PAC is a separate fund as defined under Section 527(f) of the IRC that was created pursuant to the Federal Election Campaign Act and is regulated by the Federal Election Commission. The Institute and ACI PAC believe that their operations are consistent with the nature of their exemptions granted by the Internal Revenue Service. No provision for income taxes is required for the year ended December 31, 2020, as ACI had no significant net unrelated business income.ACI follows the authoritative guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes included in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes. These provisions provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys consolidated financial statements. ACI evaluated its uncertainty in income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2020, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or that may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. U.S federal jurisdiction and/or the various states and local jurisdictions in which ACI files tax returns are open for examination; however, there are currently no examinations pending or in progress. It is ACIs policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertainty in income taxes, if any, in income tax or interest expense. As of December 31, 2020, ACI had no accruals for interest and/or penalties.
