Part IV, Line 1b: Why is organization an agent, trustee, custodian or other intermediary for contribNFL administers bank funds owned jointly by all 32 member clubs on their behalf.Additions during the year totaled $3,550,474,000 and distributions totaled $3,483,813,000. Beginning net asset balance totaled $235,023,000 and ending net asset balance totaled $301,684,000.
Part X : FIN48 FootnoteEffective April 1, 2009, in accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the League Office determines whether a tax position of the League Office is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The League Office reviews and evaluates tax positions in its major jurisdictions and determines whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition and the recording of a liability. Based on this review, the League Office has determined that the adoption of the guidance for uncertainty in income taxes had no impact on its financial statements. The League Office had no unrecognized tax benefits and, consequently, had no accrued interest and penalties thereto as of April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014. The League Office does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits balance to change in the next twelve months. The League Office is generally no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to March 31, 2011.
