Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America prescribes recognition thresholds and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Tax benefits will be recognized only if the tax position is more likely than not sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized will be 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 will be recorded. The TAA would recognize interest and penalties separately from any income tax expense. There was no interest or penalties for the year ended December 31, 2014. For the TAA's major tax jurisdictions, the 2012 and 2013 tax years remain subject to examination. The TAA does not expect significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. true North America (Canada & Mexico only) 0 0 Grantmaking thoroughbred aftercare 105000 0 0 0 0 0 0 105000 0 105000 North America (Canada & Mexico only) thoroughbred aftercare 75000 cash 0 North America (Canada & Mexico only) thoroughbred aftercare 30000 cash 0 2 0 false false false false false false Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds GRANTS ARE ONLY MADE TO AFTERCARE FACILITIES THAT MEET TAA ACCREDIDATION STANDARDS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE AMERICAN HUMANE SOCIETY AND THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF EQUINE PRACTITIONERS.
