IdentifierDescription of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Identifier
Return ReferencePart X:ReturnReference
ExplanationThird Way and Third Way Institute adopted the provisions of ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires that a tax position be recognized on a "more-likely-than-not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of ASC 740 had no impact on either organization's audited statements of financial position or statements of activities. The organizations do not believe their financial statements include (or reflect) any uncertain tax positions.Explanation
