Return ReferenceDescription of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:ReturnReference
ExplanationThe Fund is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable statutes of the State of Minnesota. Effective in March 2008, the Fund was classified as a public charity under Section 509(a)(1) by the Internal Revenue Service. In accordance with the accounting standard on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, the Organization addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Organization 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. 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 2010 to 2012, respectively.Explanation
