However, income from activities not directly related to the tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. There was no tax on unrelated business income for the year ended December 31, 2018.Effective October 1, 2009, the Organization adopted Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Tax guidance FASB ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Accordingly, the Organization recognizes the effect of income tax positions only when those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. The Organization believes the adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Organizations financial statements.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The tax returns are prepared by an outside accounting firm. After completion of said returns, the organization is sent a draft of the tax returns to be reviewed and examined. The organization distributes copies of the complete returns to the board of directors. If all items are found to be acceptable, an authorization is signed and provided to the outside accounting firm to process, sign and provide copies of the returns to be filed (paper or electronically) with the designated governmental agencies. The tax returns are then signed by the organization and placed in the mail for filing, or the form 8879 is provided to the outside accounting firm allowing electronic filing. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts Under our conflict of interest policy (the "policy"), each director and officer (each, an "interested person"), is required to annually sign a statement that affirms such interested person: (i) has received a copy of the policy; (ii) has read and understands the policy; (iii) has agreed to comply with the policy; and (iv) understands that we are a charitable organization and, in order to maintain our federal tax exemption, we must engage primarily in activities that accomplish one or more of our tax-exempt purposes. We also conduct periodic reviews as required by the policy regarding, among other things, whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable and a result of arm's length bargaining, and whether partnerships, joint ventures and arrangements with management organizations conform to our written policies, do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit, or in an excess benefit transaction. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management The SVUDL Board used non-profit compensation data from two commercially available surveys to review market compensation for this position considering geography, type of non-profit work performed, organization size, position, title, and responsibilities. The executive director's compensation was set by a unanimous vote of the full board, and documented in the offer letter to the Executive Director, after considering this material, without any participation by the Executive Director. It is the intent of the SVUDL board to follow substantially the same process each year in reviewing and adjusting as appropriate the Executive Director compensation.
