A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is more than likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that has a likelihood of being realized on examination of more than 50 percent. For tax positions not meeting the more than likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded. Under the more-likely than not guidelines, the Foundation believes no significant uncertain tax positions exist, either individually or in the aggregate, that would give rise to the non-recognition of an existing tax benefit. As of June 30, 2013, the Foundation had no material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties. false false false false false false false false false false Kate Flynn 178804 24603 9385 16778 21847 251417 Form 990 Part III Line 2 HCIFs Clinical Advisory Committee recognized both the value of and the growing need for palliative care in the region.
