PART X, LINE 2: Helen Keller Services adopted the provisions of ASC 740, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes". Under ASC 740, an organization must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustained. The organization does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly, it will not recognize any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The organization has filed for and received income tax exemptions in the jurisdictions where it is required to do so. Additionally, the organization has filed Internal Revenue Service Form 990 tax returns, as required, and all other applicable returns in jurisdictions when it is required. For the year ended June 30, 2018, there was no interest or penalties recorded or included in the statement of activities. As of June 30, 2018, the years still subject to examination by a taxing authority are 2015 through 2017.
