Part V, Line 4:The endowment fund is to be used to fund spine related research grants.
Part X, Line 2:FIN 48 Note from Audited Financial Statements North American Spine Society is an organization described in Sections 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and was granted exemption from federal income taxes by the Internal Revenue Service. The tax-exempt purposes of the Organization and the nature in which it operates is described in Note 1. Management's assertion is that there are no uncertain tax positions and the Organizations continue to operate in compliance with their tax-exempt purposes. However, the Organizations are subject to income tax on their unrelated business income after related expenses. North American Spine Society does sell advertising in its journals as well as at its annual conference registration listing of participants which is considered unrelated to its tax-exempt purpose. Based on net income from these activities, the Society incurred and paid $37,725 and$20,843 in unrelated business income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Society has adopted the requirements for accounting for uncertain tax positions and management has determined that the Society was not required to record a liability related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Organizations annual informational and income tax returns filed with the federal and state governments are subject to examination generally for three years after they have been filed.
