Under this guidance, the Agency 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 Agency and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. For the reporting periods presented in these consolidated financial statements there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities. The Agency files forms 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. The Agency is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before fiscal 2013.
