| FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART X - ASC 740: | RIAA follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, an organization must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. RIAA does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly, it will not recognize any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. RIAA has filed for and received income tax exemptions in the jurisdictions where it is required to do so. Additionally, RIAA has filed returns as required in those jurisdictions where it is necessary. RIAA believes that it is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2014. However, RIAA is still open to examination by taxing authorities from fiscal year 2014 forward. For the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no interest or penalties recorded or included in the consolidated statements of activities related to uncertain tax positions. |
