Endowment funds are to be used for the church planting activities of the Missionary Church Western District and for support of education ministry organization. Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Foundation is organized under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code as a tax-exempt organization and is classified as an organization other than a private foundation for both U.S. and California tax purposes. The Foundation accounts for income taxes under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the Foundation to evaluate its tax positions and recognize liability for any positions that would not be considered more likely than not to be upheld under a tax authority examination. If such issues exist, the Foundations policy will be to recognize any tax liability so recorded, including applicable interest and penalties, as a component of income tax expense.The Foundation has reviewed its tax positions and determined that an accrual for uncertain income tax positions and adjustment to the tax provision was not necessary. true ACLJ PO Box 90555 Washington DC 00090 541586817
