However, income generated from activities unrelated to the Bureaus exempt purposes is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. The Bureau did not have a material unrelated business income tax liability for the year ended September 30, 2020. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax.GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Bureaus tax returns and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Bureau has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Bureau and has concluded that as September 30, 2020, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. true ARLINGTON MASTER CHORALE PO BOX 459 ARLINGTON TX 76004 237390028 501(c)(3) 20000 0 MARKETING GRANT ARLINGTON MUSEUM OF ART INC 201 W MAIN STREET ARLINGTON TX 76010 237407695 501(C)(3) 40000 0 MARKETING GRANT ARLINGTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PO BOX 202051 ARLINGTON TX 76006 752941132 501(C)(3) 40000 0 MARKETING GRANT DESTINATIONS INTERNATIONAL 2025 M STREET NW 500 WASHINGTON DC 20036 6000 0 MARKETING GRANT FRIENDS OF THE LEVITT PAVILIO 505 E BORDER ST ARLINGTON TX 76010 260849441 501(c)(3) 50000 0 MARKETING GRANT TEXAS RANGERS BASEBALL CLUB PO BOX 677756 DALLAS TX 75267 272208889 250000 0 MARKETING- CHRISTKI THEATRE ARLINGTON 305 W MAIN ST ARLINGTON TX 76010 237381831 501(C)(3) 100000 0 MARKETING GRANT 5 2 Additional Supplemental Information SCHEDULE I, PART II, LINES 3 & 5 FOR THE FISCAL YAER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019, THE BUREAU WAS PERMITTED BY THE CITY OF ARLINGTON, TO USE A PORTION OF THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAXES THEY RECEIVE TO OUTSOURCE THE PRODUCTION OF THE ANNUAL TEXAS CHRISTKINDL MARKET PREVIOUSLY PUT ON BY THE BUREAU.
