Part X: Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: Effective April 1, 2009, the Museum adopted the provisions of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes as provided for in the Income Taxes topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This statement clarifies the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in an entity's financial statements. It also prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely-than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. There was no cumulative effect on the Museum's financial statements related to the adoption of these provisions, and no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions were accrued. The Museum is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities for the years ended March 31, 2007 through 2010.
