Form And Line ReferenceSCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationThe following is the "Income Taxes" footnote from the consolidated financial statements that include the accounts and balances of Corporation of Western Governors University, among other entities: CWGU, WGU Labs, WGU Advancement, and WGU Academy qualify as tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are generally exempt from federal and state income taxes, except for taxes on income from activities unrelated to their exempt purposes. The consolidated, wholly-owned LLC partnerships are treated as disregarded entities for income tax purposes to the extent that their activities are related to an exempt purpose of their tax-exempt parent. The Organization records its allocated income or loss from other majority-owned LLCs, and based on the nature of the operations of those LLCs, determines if any income tax will be due. Activities unrelated to the exempt purpose are subject to income tax. The consolidated LP partnerships seek investments in early-stage, mission-aligned companies, but since the LP partnerships are designed to generate a profit, their activities are largely considered unrelated to their parent's exempt purpose. The tax-exempt parent entities do not generally pay taxes on income from the LP partnerships' investments in C-corporations and promissory notes, but investments in other partnerships are subject to taxation. Management believes the Organization has taken no tax positions that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.ExplanationTxt
