| Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote | CFF is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and therefore no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. CFF follows guidance with respect to accounting for uncertain tax positions. No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements, as CFF has had no significant unrelated business income. If CFF incurs interest and penalties, CFF recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. CFF has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of June 30, 2020 and 2019. CFF does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit to significantly change in the next 12 months. |
