IdentifierDescription of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Identifier
Return ReferencePart X, Line 2:ReturnReference
ExplanationThe consolidated financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Interest and penalties, if any, are included in expenses in the consolidated statements of activities. As of August 31, 2013, BSF had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. BSF files informational tax returns in the United States and various states. BSF is generally no longer subject to United States federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009.Explanation
