In addition, the Organization has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) not to be a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the IRC. For the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Organization had no unrelated business income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been provided in the accompanying financial statements. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Organizations tax return and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization, and has concluded that as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. other revenue included on return, not on books form 990, schedule D, part xi, line 4b: Fundraising expenses $5,343 other expense included on books, not on return form 990, schedule D, part xii, line 2d: Fundraising expenses $5,343 SLM INTERNATIONAL LLC CORP.
