Part X, Line 2:The Trust, established to hold the health plans' assets, is exempt from taxation pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Trust has obtained a favorable tax exemption letter from the Internal Revenue Service, and the Trustees believe that the Trust, as amended, is operating in accordance with the applicable provisions of the IRC. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Trust management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Trust and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Trust has taken an uncertain tax position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Trust is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
