| Part X, Line 2: | The Association is incorporated as a non-profit under the laws of the State of Delaware and is exempt from Federal and state income taxes under the provision of Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code, except for taxes pertaining to unrelated business income, if any. The Association had no unrelated business income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Association follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in the income taxes. The standard clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The guidance also addresses derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. Management believes the Association has no material uncertainties in income taxes. The Association files Form 990 in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and the related form in the required state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Association is no longer subject to examination for years before 2012. |
