ExplanationThe Center is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Center must, however, pay income taxes on the net profit from its unrelated business activities, if any. The Center recognizes the tax benefit of an uncertain tax position only if management determines that it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merit of the position. Management has determined that through April 30, 2020 the Center did not take any material tax positions which do not meet the criteria for recognition.ExplanationTxt
