If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" Pt X Line 2 that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. CWU has identified its tax status as a tax-exempt entity as a tax position; however, CWU has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. CWU is not currently under examination by any taxing juridictions. The CWU's federal and state tax returns are generally open for examination for three years following the date filed.
