Part X, Line 2: WETA follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in 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. WETA does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly, it has not recognized any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. WETA has filed for and received income tax exemptions in the jurisdictions where it is required to do so. Additionally, WETA has filed Internal Revenue Service Form 990 and Form 990-T tax returns, as required, and all other applicable returns in jurisdictions where it is required. WETA 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 years before 2014. However, WETA is still open to examination by taxing authorities for the current year and the prior three years. For the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, no interest or penalties were required to be recorded or included in the consolidated statements of activities related to uncertain tax positions.
