Schedule D, Part IV, Line 2b Explanation of escrow agreementCustodial funds represent monies held in demand deposit accounts from Association members' and Association employees' payroll for the Family Awareness Fund, group life insurance, long-term disability and retirement plan programs sponsored by the Association. The Family Awareness Fund represents donations from crew members for the benefit of certain crew members' families. These funds are included on the Association's statements of financial position as an asset and a liability.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnoteThe Internal Revenue Service has determined that the Association is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, the Association is subject to federal income tax on any unrelated business taxable income. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America prescribe attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Tax benefits or liabilities will be recognized only if the tax position would "more-likely-than-not" be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized will be the largest amount of tax benefit or liability 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 or liability will be recorded. Management has concluded that they are unaware of any tax benefits or liabilities to be recognized at December 31, 2017 and 2016 and does not expect this to change in the next 12 months. The Association would recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in interest and income tax expense, respectively. The Association has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.
