Form And Line ReferencePart X, Line 2:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationThe Organization is organized as a South Dakota nonprofit corporation and is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic ASC 740-10 (previously Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes). As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the unrecognized tax benefit accrual was zero. The Organization believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken affecting its annual filing requirements, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The Organization will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if incurred. The Organization is no longer subject to federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2011.ExplanationTxt
