The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes that clarifies the accounting and recognition for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Stations income tax returns. The Station has adopted the standard. The Station evaluates all significant tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting standards in the United States. As of September 30, 2024, the Station does not believe that it has taken any tax positions that would require the recording of any tax liability nor does it believe that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next twelve months. The Stations income tax returns are subject to examination by the appropriate taxing jurisdictions and the open tax years are 2020 - 2023.
