authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the foundation recognizes tax liabilities when, despite the management's belief that the return positions are supportable, the foundation believes that certain positions may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities. Benefits from tax positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences impact income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made. Interest and penalties, if any, related to accrued liabilities for potential tax assessments are included in income tax expense. With few exceptions, the foundation is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. Federal, state, or local tax authorities for years ended December 31, 2013 and prior. Management has evaluated the foundations tax positions and has concluded that the foundation has taken no material uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance.
