Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Part X, Line 2:Bard College Berlin, gGmbH files Forms 990 annually with the Internal Revenue Service. When annual returns are filed, some tax positions taken are highly certain to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while other tax positions are subject to uncertainty about the technical merits of the position or amount of the position's tax benefit that would ultimately be sustained. Management evaluated Bard College's tax positions, including interest and penalties attributable thereto, and concluded that there are no tax positions that required adjustment in its financial statements as of June 30, 2017 and 2016. Forms 990 filed by the College are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service up to three years from the extended due date of each return. Forms 990 filed by the College are no longer subject to examination for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, and prior.
