IdentifierIdentifierReturn ReferenceReturnReferenceExplanationExplanation
Fin 48Part XThe foundation adopted guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recongized in the financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. the foundation has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it was nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The tax years ending 2010, 2011 and 2012 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. the foundation has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
reconciliationThe Birthright Israel Foundation does not receive its own standalone audited financial statements. The Foundation's financial operations are reported in consolidated financial statements. The statements include the Foundation's related entity, Birthright Israel Next, Inc. For purposes of Form 990 reporting, the Foundation's financial data as presented in Parts XI and XII represent just the Foundation's financial information as reported (on a standalone basis) in the financial statements.
