Explanation	The Organization follows the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification relating to uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance requires entities (including income tax exempt organizations) to assess their uncertain tax positions for the likelihood that they would be overturned upon Internal Revenue Service examination or upon examination by state taxing authorities. The Organization has determined that it does not have any positions at December 31, 2016 that it would be unable to substantiate. The Organization has filed its tax returns through December 31, 2015. The tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2013, and thereafter are subject to audit by the taxing authorities.	ExplanationTxt
