| Explanation | VISIT ABQ IS A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION AND QUALIFIES AS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(6) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC) AND IS CLASSIFIED AS OTHER THAN A PRIVATE FOUNDATION. AS SUCH, ITS NORMAL ACTIVITIES DO NOT RESULT IN ANY INCOME TAX LIABILITY. HOWEVER, INCOME FROM CERTAIN ACTIVITIES NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO VISIT ABQ'S TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSE IS SUBJECT TO TAXATION AS UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. IN 2006, FASB ISSUED AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE RELATING TO THE ACCOUNTING FOR THE UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, WHICH WAS EFFECTIVE FOR VISIT ABQ FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009. THE GUIDANCE CLARIFIES THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES RECOGNIZED IN AN ENTERPRISE'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP). THE GUIDANCE ALSO REQUIRES THE EVALUATION OF TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN THE COURSE OF PREPARING VISIT ABQ'S INFORMATION RETURNS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE TAX POSITIONS ARE "MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT" OF BEING SUSTAINED BY THE APPLICABLE TAX AUTHORITY. TAX POSITIONS NOT DEEMED TO MEET THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THRESHOLD WOULD BE RECORDED AS A TAX BENEFIT OR EXPENSE IN THE CURRENT YEAR. IN ADDITION, GUIDANCE ON DERECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES, ACCOUNTING IN INTERIM PERIODS, DISCLOSURE AND TRANSITION WAS ALSO PROVIDED. AS OF JUNE 30, 2016, VISIT ABQ PERFORMED A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF ITS MATERIAL TAX POSITIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY GAAP. AS A RESULT OF THIS REVIEW, VISIT ABQ QUALIFIED AS A TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(6) OF THE IRC AND HAD NO UNREPORTED INCOME DERIVED FROM UNRELATED BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY ENTITY LEVEL TAX POSITIONS THAT WOULD NOT MEET THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THRESHOLD. VISIT ABQ FILES INFORMATIONAL TAX RETURNS AS PRESCRIBED BY THE TAX LAWS OF THE JURISDICTIONS IN WHICH IT OPERATES. IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS, VISIT ABQ IS SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS, WHERE APPLICABLE. VISIT ABQ WOULD RECOGNIZE INTEREST ACCRUED RELATED TO UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS IN INTEREST EXPENSE AND PENALTIES IN OPERATING EXPENSES. THERE WAS NO SUCH INTEREST OR PENALTIES RECORDED FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 AND 2015. | ExplanationTxt |
