Return Reference Explanation
Uncertain Tax Positions (FIN 48) Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 UNITED WAY OF METROPOLITAN CHICAGO, INC., South-Southwest, North-Northwest, and DuPage/West Cook have received favorable determination letters from the Internal Revenue Service, stating that they are exempt from Federal income taxes under the provisions of 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, except for income taxes pertaining to unrelated business income. Accounting guidance requires tax effects from uncertain tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position was to be challenged by a taxing authority. Management has determined there are no material uncertain positions which require recognition in the financial statements. Additionally, no provision for income taxes is reflected in these financial statements. There is no interest or penalties recognized in the financial statements. The tax years ending 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 are still open to audit for both Federal and state purposes.
