Form And Line ReferencePart X, Line 2:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationTCS ES has received notification that it qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the US Internal Revenue Code and corresponding provisions of state law and, accordingly, is not subject to federal or state income taxes. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, TCS ES may 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 taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of TCS ES and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities during the year ended May 31, 2016. TCS ES annually files Form 990 in the US federal jurisdiction and in the State of Illinois. TCS ES's Form 990 for fiscal year 2013 and subsequent years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.ExplanationTxt
