PART X, LINE 2	Avenues is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, except for net income derived from unrelated business activities. In addition, Avenues qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b)(1)(A) and has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under IRC Section 509(a). In evaluating the Organization's activities, management believes its position of tax-exempt status is based on current facts and circumstances and there have been no uncertain positions taken related to recording income taxes. In the opinion of management there are no activities unrelated to the purpose of the Organization and therefore no tax is to be recognized. It is the policy of the Organization to include in management and general expenses penalties and interest assessed by income taxing authorities. There are no penalties or interest from taxing authorities included in management and general expenses for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
