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. true WRITERS GUILD FOUNDATION 7000 W 3RD ST LOS ANGELES CA 90048 237024900 501(c)(3) 303624 FMV N/A SPONSORSHIP 1 THE WRITERS GUILD FOUNDATION (WGF) IS A RELATED CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION, TO WHICH THE WGAW PROVIDES CERTAIN FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
