Donors of money or property, or both, are entitled to the maximum charitable contribution deduction allowed by law. Since CARECEN is exempt from federal and state income tax liability, no provision is made for current or deferred income taxes. CARECEN uses the same accounting methods for tax and financial reporting. Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an entity in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Management is not aware of any tax positions that would have a significant impact on its financial position. CARECEN's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed. The open years are: 2022, 2023 and 2024. false false false false false false false false false MARTHA AREVALO EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 195574 195574 JULIE MITCHELL MANAGING ATTORNEY 204995 204995 VINCENT GOMIS controller 153994 153994 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B LINE 11B DESCRIBE THE PROCESS USED BY THE ORGANIZATION TO REVIEW THIS FORM 990: PRIOR TO FILING, A COPY OF THE 990 IS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE TREASURER/CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF THE BOARD AND/OR THE CHAIR OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE.
