Schedule D, Part IV, Line 2b Explanation of escrow agreement

Indianapolis Downtown Marketing, Inc. (IDMI) serves as the fiscal agent for the Pest Bird Task Force (Task Force), which consists of property owners and building managers in downtown Indianapolis, IN. The Task Force has contracted with the USDA to monitor and relocate the pest birds in downtown Indianapolis, IN. IDMI collects donations from members of the Task Force, and will pay the USDA for their services. IDMI has no obligation to the Task Force or the USDA beyond holding of the funds.

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote

IDI is exempt from income taxes on income from related activities under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and corresponding state tax law. IDMI is exempt from income taxes on income from related activities under Section 501(c)(6) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and corresponding state tax law. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Additionally, neither IDI nor IDMI has been determined to be a private foundation under Section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The guidance requires the Organization to recognize a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount that would be recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely-than-not test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Organization does not expect their position of no uncertain tax positions to change in the next 12 months. The Organization recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Organization did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2015 and 2016.
