Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote The Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The Organization is not considered to be a private foundation. Accounting guidance requires the Organization to recognize a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely-than-not test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Organization has examined this issue and has determined there are no material contingent tax liabilities or questionable tax positions. The Organization does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. The Organization recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Organization did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2017 and 2016. true SCHOLARSHIPS 55 77250 0 n/a n/a Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds.
