Return Reference Explanation
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds To fund the treatment and prevention of blindness in the state of Louisiana.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote The Foundation has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, stating that it is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) of 1986, as amended, except for income taxes pertaining to unrelated business income. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance that 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 were to be challenged by a taxing authority. Management has determined that there are no material uncertain positions that require recognition in the financial statements. Additionally, no provision for income taxes is reflected in these financial statements, as the Foundation's unrelated business taxable income was offset by the expenses directly connected with the conduct of the unrelated business, creating a net operating loss. There is no interest or penalties recognized in the financial statements.
Schedule D, Part XII, Line 2(d) Other expenses in audited financial statements not in form 990 RECOVERIES OF PRIOR YEAR GRANTS - NETTED AGAINST GRANT EXPENSE ON AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -2664484
