        <ExplanationTxt>The Association has a letter of exemption from federal income tax issued by the Internal Revenue Service and files IRS Form 990 annually. An evaluation of whether or not it has uncertain tax positions is determined on an annual basis by the Association. While the Association believes it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be different than the positions taken by the Association. The Association recognizes any interest and penalties assessed by taxing authorities in income tax expense and, with few exceptions, is no longer subject to federal, state, or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2021.</ExplanationTxt>
