| Return Reference | Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: | ReturnReference |
| Explanation | On July 1, 2009, the School adopted the provisions of the Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC. As a result of this adoption, the School believes there was no impact on the statement of financial position or statement of activities and did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of net assets. The Schools 2007 and 2008 tax returns were filed appropriately. As of November 12, 2010, the School had not filed their 2009 tax return. The School recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Schools tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. The Schools open audit periods are 2006 through 2009. Management has evaluated the Schools tax position and concluded that the School has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. | Explanation |
