| Return Reference | Part X, Line 2: | ReturnReference |
| Explanation | The Foundation is exempt from income taxes under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code and a similar provision of state law. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Foundation's financial statements. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Foundation and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Foundation has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the applicable authorities. The Foundation is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examination for years prior to 2010. | Explanation |
