| Form And Line Reference | Part X : FIN48 Footnote | FormAndLineReferenceDesc |
| Explanation | Part X, Line 2:The school is a non-profit entity exempt from the payment of income taxes under internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) and California revenue and taxation code section 23701D. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. Management has determined that all income tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon potential audit or examination; therefore, no disclosures of uncertain income tax positions are required. The school is subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to exempt purposes. The school files an exempt school return and applicable unrelated business income tax return in the US Federal jurisdiction and with the California Franchise Tax Board. | ExplanationTxt |
