In addition, WHI qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation. WHI follows the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under this guidance, World Hope may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that 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. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes and accounting in interim periods. Management evaluated World Hope tax positions and concluded that World Hope had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. Generally, World Hope is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years before 2021.
