Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote The Council evaluates uncertainty in income tax positions based on a more likely than not recognition standard. If that threshold is met, the tax position is then measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there are no accruals for uncertain tax positions. If applicable, the Council records interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. Tax years from 2018 through the current year remain open for examination by tax authorities.
