Part X, Line 2: The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Agency may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examiation by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Agency and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classificiation, interest and penalties on income taxes and accounting in interim periods. For the reporting periods presented in these financial statements, there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities. The Agency files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. The Agency is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2012. 1 Scholarships 142 410075 Wages & benefits to disabled workers in Contract Service Programs 88 2319117 Wages & payroll taxes to Senior Aide Workers 100 95075 Other client wages & on-the-job training stipends 111 114738 Other 245 89125 Schedule I Part I, Line 2 Scholarships: The funding for scholarships is provided by private donors.
