No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements, as the Organization has had no significant unrelated business income. The Organization follows guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Organization recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. The Organization has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of March 31, 2020.

The Foundation was a not-for-profit organization established in 1963 to make grants to support Christian work around the world. Prior to the Merger, the Foundation was the primary owner of Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., a C-corporation whose mission was to publish and sell Bibles and Christian literature throughout the world. The merger was formed in order to ensure that the combined entity has the best opportunity to fulfill its calling and purpose in the future. Subsequent to the merger, all of the outstanding shares of Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. were dissolved and substantially all remaining assets of Tyndale House Foundation were donated to Tyndale House Ministries. The transaction was treated as an accounting merger with assets carried over at their historical cost.
