However, income from certain activities not directly related to Tucson Audubon Societys tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. In addition, the Organization qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) and has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under Section 509(a)(1).The Organization is required to recognize, measure, classify, and disclose in its financial statements any uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Organizations tax returns. Management has determined that the Organization does not have any uncertain tax positions and associated unrecognized tax benefits that materially impact the financial statements or related disclosures. Since tax matters are subject to some degree of uncertainty, there can be no assurance that the Organizations tax returns will not be challenged by the taxing authorities and that the Organization will not be subject to additional tax, penalties, and interest as a result of such challenge. Generally, the Organizations tax returns remain open for federal income tax examination for three years from the date of filing and for three to four years in the states in which the Organization operates.
