Under that guidance, the Alliance 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 merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Alliance and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for at year end.The Alliances policy would be to recognize interest and penalties, if any, on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the consolidated financial statements. No interest and penalties were assessed or recorded during the year. true Center for Innovation in Medicare A 1411 K St NW Washington DC 20005 842031053 501c3 150000 General Support Monitoring procedures (Part I, line 2) BMA reviews CIMAs financial statements on a monthly basis.
