Part X, Line 2:The Arboretum is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code. No provision has been made for federal and state income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Arboretum and recognize a tax liability if the Arboretum has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS or other applicable taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Arboretum and has concluded that as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The Arboretum is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Arboretum believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2012.
