Return ReferencePart X, Line 2:ReturnReference
ExplanationFOOTNOTE M UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES:BFIT adopted the new standards for Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which required BFIT to report any uncertain tax positions and to adjust its financial statements for the impact thereof. As of June 30, 2012, BFIT determined that it had no tax positions that did not meet the more likely than not threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. BFIT files tax and information returns in the United States Federal and Massachusetts state jurisdictions. There returns are generally subject to examination by tax authorities for the last three years.Explanation
