Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote MIPM and the Foundation are exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Additionally, MIPM and the Foundation have been determined not to be private foundations under Section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Tax expense for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $0 for each year. Current accounting standards require MIPM to disclose the amount of potential benefit or obligation to be realized as a result of an examination performed by a taxing authority. For the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, management has determined that MIPM does not have any tax positions that result in any uncertainties regarding the possible impact on MIPM's financial statements. MIPM does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. MIPM recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. MIPM did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at September 30, 2024 and 2023.
