Form And Line ReferenceSchedule D, Part X, Line 2FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationThe Organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from federal income tax on income under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and from state franchise tax under California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701 (d). However, income from activities not directly related to its tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. There was no tax on unrelated business income for year ended December 31, 2016. The Organization adopted Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Tax guidance FASB ASC 740 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Accordingly, the Organization recognizes the effect of income tax positions only when those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. The Organization believes the adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Organization's financial statements.ExplanationTxt
