Form And Line ReferencePart X, Line 2:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationAccounting principles related to accounting for uncertain tax positions require financial statement recognition for the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the tax position. The principles prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, as well as guidance on derecognizing, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosure. Tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2011, and beyond remain subject to examinations by applicable taxing authorities. Industries for the Blind, Inc. is organized as an entity generally exempt from corporate income taxes. Under certain circumstances, exempt entities can incur corporate income taxes on activities deemed to be unrelated to its exempt status. Management regularly evaluates its activities and determines if any of its activities would be considered unrelated and has concluded that no uncertain tax positions have been taken.ExplanationTxt
