Form And Line ReferencePt X, Line 2FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationCFS has adopted the accounting of uncertainity in income taxes as required by the Income Taxes Topic (Topic 740) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Topic 740 requires CFS to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examiniation by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement, which could result in CFS recording a tax liability that would reduce CFS net assets. Management has analyzed CFS tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2019- 2021), or expected to be taken in their 2022 tax return. CFS is not aware of any tax positions for which it believes that there is a reasonable possibility that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.ExplanationTxt
