The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that any tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Income tax returns filed by the Hostel are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the Internal Revenue Service, tax years since 2010 remain open. The Hostel has no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure.
