If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. The organization has identified its tax status as a tax exempt entity as its only significant tax position; however, the organization has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. The organization is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdictions. The organization's Federal and state tax returns are generally open for examination for three years following the date filed.
