Part X, Line 2: American Association of Neurosurgeons, Inc. is an Illinois nonprofit corporation which has been granted tax-exempt status as a public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The entity is required to pay federal and state income taxes only on net unrelated business income. The American Association of Neurosurgeons, Inc. receives revenues, primarily advertising, which are considered unrelated business income and are taxed on a net basis after related expenses. The entity follow the provisions of the Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes section of the Income Taxes Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which 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 entity 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 examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the entities and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). 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 ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, the entity has no liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The entity files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. With few exceptions, the entity is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2011. 1 East Asia and the Pacific - Australia, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, 0 0 Grants to Recipients Located in Region 140500 Europe (Including Iceland & Greenland) - Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium 0 0 Grants to Recipients Located in Region 5500 Middle East and North Africa - Algeria, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, 0 0 Grants to Recipients Located in Region 2500 North America - Canada and Mexico, but but not the United States 0 0 Grants to Recipients Located in Region 2000 South Asia - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, 0 0 Grants to Recipients Located in Region 1500 0 0 0 0 0 0 152000 0 152000 East Asia and the Pacific Van Wagenen Fellowship Award 140000 Check 1 0 Best Interational Abstract Award East Asia and the Pacific 1 500 Check International Travel Scholarship South Asia 1 1500 Check Brainlab Community Neurosurgery Award Europe (Including Iceland & Greenland) 1 500 Check American Brain Tumor Association Young Investigator Award North America 1 1000 Check Marmarou Lecture Europe (Including Iceland & Greenland) 1 2500 Check Depuy Synthes Award North America 1 1000 Check Depuy Synthes Award Europe (Including Iceland & Greenland) 1 1000 Check J.
