The entity is required to pay federal and state income taxes only on their net unrelated business income. The entity follows the provisions of the Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes section of the Income Taxes Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which 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, the entity 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 the entities and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the entity has no liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The entity files Forms 990 and Form 990-T in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. With few exceptions, the entity is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2013. 0 0 0 Thomas A Marshall Executive Director (until 12/31/15) 0 654167 0 0 0 3564 0 44500 0 10717 0 712948 0 0 Kathleen T Craig Executive Director 0 181889 0 0 0 541 0 18453 0 10156 0 211039 0 0 Peter B Kuhn Chief Financial Officer 0 161207 0 0 0 1482 0 16892 0 20384 0 199965 0 0 Part I, Line 3 The compensation of the Executive Director was determined by the related organization, American Association of Neurosurgeons, Inc.
