PART X, LINE 2: Legal Services and the Foundation qualify as tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and under similar provisions of the Florida Statutes. LLC has been disregarded for federal income tax purposes as permitted under Treasury Regulations 301.7701-3(b)(1)(ii). Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. Management has determined that there was no unrelated business income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Organization identifies and evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, and recognizes the impact of uncertain tax positions for which there is a less than more-likely-than-not probability of the position being upheld when reviewed by the relevant taxing authority. Such positions are deemed to be unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding liability is established on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Organization has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Organization would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Organization's tax years subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service generally remain open for three years from the date of filing.
