FIN 48 establishes that the financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon IRS examination. FIN 48 became effective for fiscal year 2008 for the Organization. The Organization has analyzed tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years for the taxable entities and has determined that as of June 30, 2010, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Organization has analyzed specific criteria regarding the exempt 501(c) 3 status for the tax exempt entities and has determined that as of June 30, 2010 the Organization is compliant with the qualifications for exemption from Federal income tax.
