| Explanation | THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) AS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (THE CODE) AND IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES ON RELATED INCOME PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 502(A) OF THE CODE. THE FOUNDATION ADHERES TO THE PROVISIONS OF ASC 740, INCOME TAXES (ASC 740). ASC 740 ESTABLISHES RULES FOR RECOGNIZING AND MEASURING TAX POSITIONS TAKEN IN AN INCOME TAX RETURN, INCLUDING DISCLOSURES OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS (UTPS). ASC 740 MANDATES THAT COMPANIES EVALUATE ALL MATERIAL INCOME TAX POSITIONS FOR PERIODS THAT REMAIN OPEN UNDER APPLICABLE STATUTES OF LIMITATION, AS WELL AS POSITIONS EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN FUTURE RETURNS. THE UTP RULES THEN IMPOSE A RECOGNITION THRESHOLD ON EACH TAX POSITION. AN ORGANIZATION CAN RECOGNIZE AN INCOME TAX BENEFIT ONLY IF THE POSITION HAS A "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" (I.E., MORE THAN 50 PERCENT) CHANCE OF BEING SUSTAINED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS. FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024, AND YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023, THE FOUNDATION HAS TAKEN NO MATERIAL TAX POSITIONS ON ITS APPLICABLE TAX FILINGS THAT DO NOT MEET THE "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" THRESHOLD. AS A RESULT, NO AMOUNT FOR UTPS HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS FOR YEARS PRIOR TO 2021. | ExplanationTxt |
