Return Reference Explanation
PART V, LINE 4 Each Year the Foundation is permitted to use no less than 3% and no more than 5% of the endowment assets for the make a splash program and the dirks/gould coaches incentive program.
PART X, LINE 2 Footnote from Consolidated Financial Statements: USA Swimming and the Foundation are exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, these entities qualify for the charitable contribution deduction and have been classified as organizations that are not private foundations. USSIC, Inc. had received a guarantee from the Government of Barbados exempting it from payment of tax on all local income, profits, and capital gains for a period of fifteen years, which expired December 31, 2002. Since 2002, the Company has been subject to tax on its taxable income. Income taxes paid during each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $10,050 and $10,000, respectively. Upon re-domestication, USSIC was organized as a limited liability company (LLC). Federal tax law provides an election for single member LLCs to be taxes as either associations or disregarded entities. USSIC intends to be treated as a disregarded entity. As such, USSIC's revenues and expenses will be reported as part of USA Swimming. The Organization believes that it does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. Tax years that remain subject to examination include 2011 through the current period.
