Return ReferenceSCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2ReturnReference
ExplanationFOLLOWING IS THE TEXT FROM THE FOOTNOTES OF THE SOCIETY'S AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: The Society is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), except to the extent it has unrelated business income. In addition, the Society has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") not to be a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the Code. For the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Society had no net unrelated business income. The Club is a related for-profit subsidiary of the Society which files separate corporate tax returns for which no material income tax was determined to be owed. Accordingly, no provision for income tax has been provided in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In 2010, the Organization adopted the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes provisions contained within GAAP. This guidance requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Organization's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. A reconciliation is not provided herein, as the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized benefits are zero, with no interim additions, reductions, or settlements. The Organization is relying on its tax-exempt status and its adherence to all applicable laws and regulations to preserve that status. However, the conclusions regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes will be subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Organization. The Organization recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. The Organization's informational returns are generally subject to examination for three years after the later of the due date or date of filing. As a result, the Organization is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal year 2009.Explanation
