        <ReturnReference>Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Line 2: Certain controlled organizations are subject to income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the differences between the financial and income tax reporting basis of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates and laws. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The deferred income tax provision or benefit generally reflects the net change in deferred income tax assets and liabilities during the year. The current income tax provision reflects the tax consequences of revenues and expenses currently taxable or deductible on various income tax returns for the year reported. Sanford Health Fouondation did not have an income tax liability at June 30, 2010; some related organizations have established reserves.</Explanation>
