The Organization has not recognized any benefits from uncertain tax positions in 2016 and believes it has no uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Generally, federal, state and local authorities may examine the Organization's tax exempt returns for three years from the date of filing; consequently, income tax returns for years prior to 2013 are no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities.

Other Part V, Line 2a: The organization and related organizations utilize a management company, Nexus Management Corp (EIN: 22-2952922), for the shared servicing of payroll and human resource functions of the entities. Nexus Management Corp paid 87 employees for the year ending December 31, 2016, as reported to the IRS on Form W-3. A share of the costs for those employees are allocated to the organization based on time allocation. This dollar amount is listed on Part I, Line 15. Since the organization shares employees with related organizations, the total number of employees of the management company have been listed on Part V, Line 2a and Part I line 5. The organization does not directly pay employees, so it does not file payoll tax forms (Forms 940, 941, etc.) ; it is covered by the filings of Nexus Management Corp.
