| Explanation | THE ORGANIZATION IS A MASSACHUSETTS NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION, EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, EXCEPT FOR TAXES ON UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME, AND HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AS OTHER THAN A PRIVATE FOUNDATION. THE ORGANIZATION IS REQUIRED TO FILE AN ANNUAL INFORMATION RETURN WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. THE ORGANIZATION HAS EITHER FILED OR EXTENDED THE TIME TO FILE THE ANNUAL INFORMATION RETURNS AND HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY ANY FEDERAL OR STATE TAXING AUTHORITIES OF ANY MATTERS THAT WOULD JEOPARDIZE THE ORGANIZATION'S TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. ACCORDINGLY, NO INCOME TAX EXPENSE HAS BEEN RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (FASB) ISSUED ASC TOPIC 740, "INCOME TAXES," (ASC 740). ASC 740 CLARIFIES THE ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES BY PRESCRIBING A MINIMUM PROBABILITY THRESHOLD THAT A TAX POSITION MUST MEET BEFORE A FINANCIAL STATEMENT BENEFIT IS RECOGNIZED. THE MINIMUM THRESHOLD IS DEFINED IN ASC 740 AS A TAX POSITION THAT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE APPLICABLE TAX AUTHORITY, INCLUDING RESOLUTION OF ANY RELATED APPEALS OR LITIGATION PROCESSES, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. THE TAX BENEFIT TO BE RECOGNIZED IS MEASURED AS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT THAT IS GREATER THAN FIFTY PERCENT LIKELY OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT. THE ORGANIZATION EVALUATES ITS UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS USING THE PROVISIONS OF THE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CODIFICATION 450, "CONTINGENCIES". ACCORDINGLY, A LOSS CONTINGENCY IS RECOGNIZED WHEN IT IS PROBABLE THAT A LIABILITY HAS BEEN INCURRED AS OF THE DATE OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE AMOUNT OF THE LOSS CAN BE REASONABLY ESTIMATED. THE AMOUNT RECOGNIZED IS SUBJECT TO ESTIMATE AND MANAGEMENT JUDGMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE LIKELY OUTCOME OF EACH UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION. THE AMOUNT THAT IS ULTIMATELY SUSTAINED FOR AN INDIVIDUAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION OR FOR ALL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS IN THE AGGREGATE COULD DIFFER FROM THE AMOUNT RECOGNIZED. AS OF MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2020, THE ORGANIZATION HAD NO MATERIAL UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS AND NO ADJUSTMENTS TO LIABILITIES OR OPERATIONS WERE REQUIRED UNDER ASC 740. THE ORGANIZATION'S PRACTICE WAS AND CONTINUES TO BE TO RECOGNIZE INTEREST AND PENALTY EXPENSES RELATED TO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS IN INCOME TAX EXPENSE, WHICH WERE ZERO FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020 AND 2019, RESPECTIVELY. TYPICALLY, THE ORGANIZATION'S THREE PRECEDING TAX YEARS ARE SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY FEDERAL AND STATE TAXING AUTHORITIES. THERE ARE NO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS CURRENTLY IN PROCESS. | ExplanationTxt |
