Management evaluated ARIN's tax positions and concluded that ARIN had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. ARIN recognizes interest expense and penalties related to income taxes on uncertain tax positions in management and general expenses on the statements of activities and change in net assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses in the statements of financial position. No interest expense and penalties related to income taxes on uncertain tax positions were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. ARIN files income tax returns in the U.S federal jurisdiction. In accordance with FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes, ARIN recognizes tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination and settlement with various taxing authorities. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are measured based upon the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. With a few exceptions, ARIN is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years before fiscal year 2017. Management has evaluated ARIN's tax positions and has concluded that ARIN has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. true Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) 0 0 Grantmaking 41103 Central America and the Caribbean 0 0 Grantmaking 63700 North America 0 0 Grantmaking 10000 East Asia and the Pacific 0 0 Grantmaking 4000 Central America and the Caribbean 0 1 Program Services SEE PART V 194400 0 1 0 1 313203 313203 Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) ITU PROGRAM SUPPORT 47103 WIRE Central America and the Caribbean CTU PROGRAM SUPPORT 50000 WIRE Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) Stichting Nlnet PROGRAM SUPPORT 6000 WIRE Central America and the Caribbean Build-out Internet Exchange Points 12500 WIRE 0 4 false false false false false false SCHEDULE F, PART I, LINE 2: Grant recipients are required to provide reports on project status and outcomes.
