Part X, Line 2:

The Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b)(1)(A) and has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under Section 509(a)(2). The Organization may be subject to excise taxes if it engages in certain activities not directly related to the Organizations tax-exempt purpose. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Organization has not engaged in any activity that may be subject to an excise tax and has no plan to do so. For tax-exempt entities, their tax-exempt status itself is deemed to be an uncertainty, since events could potentially occur to jeopardize their tax-exempt status. The Organization records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Organization continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The federal and state tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 are subject to examination by the taxing agencies. The Organization classifies income and excise tax assessments, if any, for interest in interest expense and for penalties as a component of operating expenses. As of December 31, 2017, management has determined that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Organization's financial statements.
