| Form And Line Reference | Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote | FormAndLineReferenceDesc |
| Explanation | On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") was enacted. The Act impacts the Institute in several ways, including the addition of excise taxes on executive compensation and net investment income, as well as new rules for calculating unrelated business taxable income. The overall impact of the Act remains uncertain until further regulatory guidance is issued to assist in calculating tax liabilities. US GAAP requires an evaluation of tax positions taken and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not, would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The MIT Welfare Benefit Plans Trust has analyzed the tax positions taken and has concluded that as of June 30, 2018, there are no significant uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken, apart from those impacted by the Act. The MIT Welfare Benefit Plans Trust continues to evaluate the impact of the Act on current and future tax positions. | ExplanationTxt |
