Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. U.S. GAAP requires that 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. Due to its tax-exempt status, the School is not generally subject to U.S. federal income tax or state income tax. The School's Form 990 has not been subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service or the state of Indiana for the last three years. The School does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change over the next 12 months. The School recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The School did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at June 30, 2015 and 2014.
