Income derived from those funds are transferred to operations on an annual basis according to the Board approved spending policy to support operations and/or specific program objectives. Uncertain Tax Positions Schedule D, Part X, Line 2: The association follows the provisions of ASC 740, income taxes. As required by ASC 740-10, the association recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The association has applied ASC 740 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open and determined there were no material unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities. The association is no longer subject to U.S. Federal tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2009.
