PART X, LINE 2:WES is subject to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, Income Taxes, as it relates to accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income taxes. Because of WES's general not-for-profit status, management believes ASC Topic 740 has not had, and is not anticipated to have, a material impact on WES's financial statements. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Job Act of 2017, beginning January 1, 2018, WES became subject to unrelated business income tax on the disallowed employee transit benefits. Accordingly, WES accrued approximately $55,000 during 2018, which is included in the accounts payable and accrued expenses balance in the accompanying statements of financial position.
