Accordingly, the Organization files as a tax exempt organization. The Organization recognizes the impact of an uncertain tax position only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The preparation of the Organization's various tax returns requires the use of estimates for federal and state income tax purposes. These estimates may be subjected to review by the respective taxing authorities. A revision, if any, to an estimate may result in an assessment of additional taxes, penalties and interest. At this time, a range in which the estimates may change is not quantifiable, and a change, if any, is not expected to be material. The Organization accounts for interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in the current period statement of activities, as necessary; however, there are currently no uncertain tax positions.
