The Organization follows guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the consolidated financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. The organization has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2021, the statute of limitations for tax years 2019 through 2020 remain open with the U.S. Federal Jurisdiction or the various states and local jurisdictions in which the organization files tax returns.
