Part X, Line 2:The Organization is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law, except for taxes pertaining to unrelated business income, if any. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under this guidance, the Organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Organization and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position, if any, are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the reporting periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. The Organization files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois and is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years before 2014.

At the end of the fiscal year, it updated its Statement of Investment Policy and adopted a Gift Acceptance Policy and a Hedge Policy. It amended the Charters for the Finance Committee and Audit Committee. The bylaws of Chicago Public Media were amended a second time to reflect the updates to those Committee charters.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Finance Committee, in consultation with the President & CEO and the Vice President of Finance, reviewed the completed Form 990 with the preparer before it was filed with the IRS.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe station requests yearly updates of Conflict of Interest statements from each member of the Board of Directors and senior staff.
