Explanation	Bethany Methodist Corporation and its affiliated entities are exempt from income taxes on income from related activities under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and corresponding state tax law. Income earned in furtherance of the Corporation's tax-exempt purpose is exempt from federal and state income taxes. The Code provides for taxation of unrelated business income under certain circumstances. The Corporation has no material unrelated business income; however, such status is subject to final determination upon examination of the related income tax returns by the appropriate taxing authority. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Under ASC Subtopic 740, Income Taxes, the Corporation must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is "more-likely-than-not" that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the applicable taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC Subtopic 740-10 also provides guidance of derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes and accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosure. There were no uncertain tax positions identified as of September 30, 2019 and 2018. The Corporation does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. Tax returns filed by the Corporation are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) up to three years from the date the return was filed. The returns no longer subject to examination are for tax years ended before September 30, 2016. The Corporation recognizes interest and/or penalties, if any, related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Corporation did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at September 30, 2019 and 2018.	ExplanationTxt
