Form 990, Schedule D, part X, line 2 ASC 740 The income taxes topic number 740, "Income Taxes" of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification") establishes criterion that an individual tax position has to meet for some or all the benefits of that position to be recognized in an entity's financial statements. This criterion will be applied to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open. Only tax positions that meet the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold at the adoption date will be recognized or continue to be recognized. This standard has had no material impact on JDC's consolidated financial statements. The tax years ended December 31, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 are still open to audit for federal and state purposes. JDC has processes currently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions. There were no uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
