Part V, Line 4:Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds:Bethany Lutheran College's endowment funds are used to fund scholarships to students, the general operations of the college, and other special projects such as faculty development, departmental needs and library needs.
Part X:Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:The Internal Revenue Service has determined that the Corporation is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. It is also exempt from state income tax. However, any unrelated business income may be subject to taxation. In accordance with the accounting standard on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, the Corporation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Corporation 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 merit of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Corporation and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. There were no significant unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities during fiscal year 2010. Open tax years subject to examination by the U.S. and state taxing authorities are for the years 2007 to 2009, which statutes expire in 2011 to 2013, respectively.
