| Explanation | Income Taxes The Markup is organized as a New York nonprofit corporation and has been recognized by the IRS as exempt from federal income taxes under IRC Section 501(a) as organizations described in IRC Section 501(c)(3), qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under IRC Sections 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) and (viii), and has been determined not to be private foundations under IRC Sections 509(a)(1) and (3), respectively. The Markup is annually required to file a Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) with the IRS. We have determined that the entity is not subject to unrelated business income tax and have not filed an Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return (Form 990-T) with the IRS. The Markup has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of New York that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The exemptions are subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management is confident that The Markup continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status. | ExplanationTxt |
