The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the IRS. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by GiveDirectly, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken. GiveDirectly has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2014.
