The Organization has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Organization adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes as of January 1, 2009. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount 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 recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. The Organization has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. Due to its tax-exempt status, the Organization is not subject to U.S. federal income tax or state income tax. The tax years which remain subject to examination are December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2015 for the federal return and December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2015 for the California return. The Organization does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months.
