However, The Help Group West is subject to income taxes on any net income that is derived from a trade or business, regularly carried on and not in the furtherance of the purpose for which it was granted exemption.

The Help Group West recognizes the impact of tax positions on the financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 740, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." ASC Topic No. 740 ("ASC 740") clarifies the uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statement in accordance with FASB Statements No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,X and prescribes a recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

During the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, The Help Group West performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions and did not note any matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have an effect on its tax-exempt status. true true true true false true true false false false false false false false false false false true Schedule E, Line 3 - Racially Nondiscriminatory Policy Publicized "All of the programs of The Help Group West admit clients of any race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion and of either sex," is publicized on the website and application forms.
