The financial statements effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the IRS. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization and has concluded that as of June 30, 2024, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken. Other significant tax positions include its determination of whether any amounts are subject to unrelated business income tax (UBIT). Management has determined that the Organization was not subject to UBIT. The Organization has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to federal and state income tax examinations for years prior to 2020.
