| Explanation | WGAW is a not-for-profit organization and is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and state of California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701a. Accordingly, no federal or state income taxes have been paid or accrued. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the WGAW and recognize a tax liability if the WGAW has taken a tax position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by a tax authority. The WGAW is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. | ExplanationTxt |
