Part X : FIN48 Footnote

Income Taxes Oakland Symphony is organized as a California nonprofit corporation and has been recognized by the IRS as exempt from federal income taxes under IRC Section 501(a) as organizations described in IRC Section 501(c)(3), qualify for the charitable contribution deduction under IRC Sections 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) and (viii), and has been determined not to be private foundations under IRC Sections 509(a)(1) and (3), respectively. Oakland Symphony is annually required to file a Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) with the IRS. Oakland Symphony is not required to file an Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return (Form 990-T) because it had no unrelated business taxable income for the year ended June 30, 2024. Oakland Symphony has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. The exemptions are subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management is confident that Oakland Symphony continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status.
