The art and writing of the approximately 100 students served is published through quarterly magazines which honor their creativity amidst dire surroundings. This program is fully supported by an annual operating grant. | Description |

| Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: | Part X, Line 2: | Income taxes: The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, Chicago Lights may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of Chicago Lights, and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions during the reporting periods covered by these financial statements. Chicago Lights files Forms 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. Chicago Lights is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2009. |
