Proximity, experience and representation of the vast majority of dentists make the ADA uniquely effective in lobbying for the dental profession. Many other critical issues are decided by legislators and regulators at the state level. Although the ADA does not lobby at the state level, we do provide expertise and resources to help state dental societies create and effectively pursue their own policy agendas. At both the federal and state levels of government, we constantly monitor legislation and, when appropriate, engage in the debate, fighting for laws and regulations that matter to dentists and the patients they serve. 3742113 3742113 103462974 83226165 20236809 12786368 4096944 8689424 52372035 47067739 5304296 37972642 Liability For Deferred Comp 7707751 Tenant Security Deposits 104628 Post-Retirement Benefit 12426717 Federal Income Tax Payable 166044 20405140 X Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote Deferred taxes are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are based upon enacted tax rates, which would apply during the period in which taxes become payable or recoverable, and the adjustment of cumulative deferred taxes for any changes in the tax rate. The Association accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC Topic 740 addresses the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under ASC Topic 740, the Association must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest, and penalties on income taxes and accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of December 31, 2017, there was no liability related to uncertain tax positions for federal and state income taxes. false East Asia and the Pacific 0 0 Conference Travel 1100 East Asia and the Pacific 0 0 Program Services Software License 37560 Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) 0 0 Conference Travel 301553 Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) 0 0 Program Services Advertising, software license, software application, maintenance subscription, consulting & implementation 209543 North America (Canada & Mexico only) 0 0 Program Services Donation to Earthquake Relief (Mexico); Librarian Services 19000 0 0 0 0 0 0 568756 0 568756 false false false false false false Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds The association awards grants based on a case by case review of each request.
