Topic 740 requires CFS to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examiniation by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement, which could result in CFS recording a tax liability that would reduce CFS net assets. Management has analyzed CFS tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2020- 2023), or expected to be taken in their 2024 tax return. CFS is not aware of any tax positions for which it believes that there is a reasonable possibility that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

Once approved and all edits are incorporated into the final, it is then signed and efiled with the IRS. Pt VI, Line 12c The organization requires board members and staff to report conflicts. To identify possible conflicts of interest, all directors, officers, and members of any committee excercising board-delegated powers must disclose to the board, or to the members of such committee, the existence of any financial interest in any entity with which he/she knows or has reason to know the corporation or any legally related organization has or is negotiating a transaction or agreement, and all material facts related to that interest. If an officer, director, or member of a committee with board-delegated powers violoates this conflict of interest policy, the board, in order to protect the corporations best interest, may take appropriate disciplinary action against the interested person. Such action may include formal reprimand, cancellation of the transaction or arrangement generating the conflict, suspension of employment, and/or removal from the board. Pt VI, Line 15a The board of directors research and review comparable salary data from other national nonprofits with similar size budgets to determine compensation for the co-executive directors. Its deliberation and decision is documented in the board minutes Pt VI, Line 19 The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.
