Return Reference Explanation
Part X, Line 2: In 1997, the Non-profit received a determination letter that it was exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. Management believes the Non-profit remains exempt from federal income taxes. As of December 31, 2014, the Non-profit has determined that there are currently no tax benefits or liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions as discussed under ASC 740. No significant change in uncertain tax positions is expected in the next twelve months. No interest or penalties have been accrued in the statement of activities and change in net assets. The Non-profit timely filed an unrelated business tax form with the federal government and required Iowa income tax form for the tax year December 31, 2013. The company's calendar years 2011 through 2013 remain subject to examination by the governing tax authorities.
