IdentifierIdentifierReturn ReferenceReturnReferenceExplanationExplanation
Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X:The University is recognized as an organization which is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") whereby only unrelated business income, as defined by Section 512(a)(1) of the Code, is subject to federal income tax. The University's policy is to record a liability for any tax position taken that is beneficial to the University, including any related interest and penalites, when it is more likely than not the postion taken by management with respect to a transaction or class of transactions will be overturned by a taxing authority upon examination. Management believes there are no such postions as of May 31, 2012 and 2011, and accordingly, no liability has been accrued. Generally the IRS may examine a tax return for three years from the date it is filed. At May 31, 2011, tax years ended May 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 remained open for possible examination by the IRS.
