Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
X 2Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Organization and recognize a tax liability if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS or other applicable taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization and has concluded that as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
XI 2dThis Form 990 reports only the activity of the Parent Organization, however the annual Audited Financial Statements include the results of all of Bethany Christian Services, including those entities covered under our Group Exemption Ruling. As such, those entities are reported on our separately filed Form 990 Bethany Christian Services Group Return.
