Part X : FIN48 FootnoteThe Institute is an exempt corporation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and 23701(d) of the Revenue and Taxation Code and, therefore, has made no provision for Federal or California income taxes. The Institute adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles, with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Institute has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. The Institute has elected to utilize Section 501(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows limited lobbying activities by Section 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.The Institute believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Institutes financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the Institute has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2018. The Institute is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
