We have corrected this reporting error for the 2012 return. Intended Uses of Endowment Funds Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The United Way of DuPage/West Cook endowment is a collection of monetary gifts from donors that are deposited into a fund where the gifts are invested, and the income earned from these investments is provided each year to the United Way of DuPage/West Cook to be used for: a quick and effective response to unexpected crisis, stabilization of human care services at times when resources are less available or funding emerging needs. Uncertain Tax Positions (FIN 48) Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 UWMC, South-Southwest, Northwest, North Shore and DuPage/West Cook have received favorable determination letters from the Internal Revenue Service, stating that they are exempt from Federal income taxes under the provisions of 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, except for income taxes pertaining to unrelated business income. Accounting guidance requires tax effects from uncertain tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position was to be challenged by a taxing authority. Management has determined that there are no material uncertain positions that require recognition in the financial statements. Additionally, no provision for income taxes is reflected in these financial statements. There is no interest or penalties recognized in the financial statements. The tax years ending 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 are still open to audit for both Federal and state purposes.
