Form And Line Reference	Liability for Uncertain Tax Position (ASC 740)	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Association has been granted exemption from the federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Interal Revenue Code (the Code) and is classified as an organization which is not a private foundation under Section 509(a) of the Code. The Association is required to report unrelated business income to the Internal Revenue Service. The Association did not have any material unrelated business income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Association recognizes or derecognizes tax positions on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Association does not believe it has any material uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. The Association follows the accounting guidance that creates a single model to address uncertainty in tax positions and clarifies accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in its financial statements. Under the requirements of this guidance, organizations could now be required to record an obligation as the result of tax positions they have historically taken on various tax exposure items. The Association is not required to record such an obligation.	ExplanationTxt

Each individual shall disclose to the association any personal interest that he or she may have in any matter pending before the NSSLHA Council and shall refrain from participation in any decision on such matter.
