Form And Line Reference	PART X, LINE 2	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	GAAP requires entities to evaluate, measure, recognize and disclose any uncertain income tax positions taken on their tax returns. GAAP prescribes a minimum threshold that a tax position is required to meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. AAHFN believes that it had no uncertain tax positions as defined in GAAP. Interest and penalties, if applicable, are recorded as income tax expense on the statement of activities and changes in net assts. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no interest and penalties recorded.	ExplanationTxt
