The Organization follows the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, The Organization may recognize the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of The Organization and various positions related to potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the reporting period presented in the financial statements. The Organization files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 An individual becomes a member of FOTP by contributing to the work and mission of the organization through a donation of money or time to support specified actions for park advocacy or engagement. Membership through monetary donation occurs when someone makes a financial donation of $50 or more. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A draft of the IRS Form 990 is circulated to Board members for review prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Annual conflict of interest statements are signed by each board member. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The Board of Directors approved compensation of the executive director and uses comparative analysis of similar nonprofit organizations as a benchmark for such compensation granted. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Governing documents, conflict of interest disclosures, financial statements and IRS form 990's are made available to the general public upon request. Additional time was required to prepare a complete and accurate return.
