SEWARD AND WILLIAM H. SEWARD, JR. EACH ITEM IN THE COLLECTION IS CATALOGUED, PRESERVED AND CARED FOR BY THE MUSEUM. THESE WERE GIFTS OVER THE YEARS AND WERE NOT RECOGNIZED AS ASSETS ON THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION. THEY WERE TRANSFERRED TO THE MUSEUM WITH NO VALUE ASSIGNED TO THEM. IN ADDITION, ACTIVITIES THAT VERIFY THE EXISTENCE AND THE CONDITION OF THE HOUSE AND THE COLLECTION ARE PERFORMED CONTINUOUSLY BY THE MUSEUM. ALL PROCEEDS FROM DEACCESSIONING SHALL BE RESTRICTED IN A SEPARATE FUND TO BE USED FOR THE ACQUISITION OF COLLECTIONS OR THE PRESERVATION, CONSERVATION OR DIRECT CARE OF THE COLLECTION. DIRECT CARE ENHANCES THE LIFE, USEFULNESS OR QUALITY OF THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION. PART X, LINE 2: THE MUSEUM IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION ORGANIZED UNDER THE LAWS OF NEW YORK STATE AND IS EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)3. IN ADDITION, THE ORGANIZATION QUALIFIES FOR THE CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION DEDUCTION UNDER SECTION 170(B)(1)(A) AND HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED AS AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS NOT A PRIVATE FOUNDATION UNDER SECTION 509(A)(2). THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD ISSUED FASB ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CODIFICATION (FASB ASC), ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES. THIS REQUIRES THE RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS HELD BY THE MUSEUM. UNDER GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, THE AMOUNT REPORTED WOULD BE BASED ON PROBABILITY ASSESSMENTS OF THE LIKELIHOOD THAT CERTAIN DEDUCTIONS WOULD BE DISALLOWED UPON EXAMINATION BECAUSE THE TAXING AUTHORITIES INTERPRETED EXISTING GUIDANCE DIFFERENTLY. THE MUSEUM RECOGNIZES ACCRUED INTEREST AND PENALTIES ASSOCIATED WITH UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AS PART OF THE INCOME TAX PROVISION. FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020, THERE WAS NO ACCRUED INTEREST OR ACCRUED PENALTIES ASSOCIATED WITH UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS FOR THE MUSEUM.
