| Schedule D, Part III, Line 1a Collections of art - financial statement footnote | The Legion owns many collectible military related items and historical documents which were not recorded as they were acquired. It is often impracticable to determine a value for collections and accordingly, the Legion has concluded that they need not be capitalized. Some of these items have been appraised for insurance purposes. |
| Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 Collections of art - description of collections | The collection of 10,000 books and magazines can be a starting point for research in military history, the role of the veteran in American society, and, of course, the development of the American Legion itself. The library contains a small but important collection of post and department histories. The museum area has relics and items from World War I. The Fine Arts Room is an area that allows one to reflect on symbols of our history. |
| Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds | Worldwide electronics leader Samsung endowed a scholarship fund of $5 million to be administered by the American Legion in 1996. Meant to show appreciation for U.S. veterans who came to Korea's aid during its struggle against communist forces in the Korean War, the Samsung American Legion Scholarship Program established a series of scholarships derived from interest and other income from the principal amount. Scholarships are restricted to high school juniors who complete either a boys state or girls state program and are a direct descendant - i.e. child, grandchild, great grandchild, etc. - or a legally adopted child of a wartime veteran who served on active duty during at least one of the periods of war officially designated as eligibility dates for American Legion membership. Samsung Scholarships are for undergraduate study only and may be used for tuition, books, fees, and room and board. Winners are selected according to academic record, involvement in school and community activities, community service and financial need. Applicants who are direct descendants of Korean War veterans will receive special consideration. American Legion Endowment Fund Corporation, a related organization, holds assets in a permanently restricted fund for the sole purpose of supporting the programs of American Legion National Headquarters. |
| Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote | The Legion is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(19) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. ALC, ALEF and NEF are exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. None of the entities are considered to be a private foundation. The Legion is subject to income tax on unrelated business income. In 2024 and 2023, the Legion incurred no tax expense. Current accounting standards require the Legion to disclose the amount of potential benefit or obligation to be realized as a result of an examination performed by a taxing authority. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, management has determined that the Legion does not have any tax positions that result in any uncertainties regarding the possible impact on the Legion's financial statements. The Legion does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. The Legion recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Legion did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2024 and 2023. |
