Form 990 Sch D Part V Line 4 ENDOWMENT FUNDS BEGINNING IN 2011, DUE TO A CHANGE IN POLICY BOARD DESIGNATED FUNDS ARE NO LONGER RESTRICTED BY THE BOARD. FUNDS ARE USED TO SUPPORT PROGRAMS, FUTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND OPERATIONS OF THE GUNDERSEN LUTHERAN MEDICAL FOUNDATION AND ITS RELATED ENTITIES.
Form 990 Sch D Part X Line 2 INCOME TAX MATTERS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) THE SYSTEM QUALIFIES AS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (THE CODE), WITH THE EXCEPTION OF DEGEN BERGLUND, INC. AND GUNDERSEN LUTHERAN ENVISION, LLC, WHICH ARE FOR-PROFIT ENTITIES. AT DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017, NET DEFERRED TAX ASSETS OF $7,574 AND $5,036, RESPECTIVELY, WHICH PRIMARILY ARE RELATED TO NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS, HAVE VALUATION ALLOWANCES OF $6,300 AND $4,000, RESPECTIVELY, RECORDED AGAINST THEM DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF REALIZING THOSE BENEFITS IN THE FUTURE. AT DECEMBER 31, 2018, THE SYSTEM'S FEDERAL NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS WERE APPROXIMATELY $30,291, AND THE STATE NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS WERE APPROXIMATELY $27,785, WHICH WILL EXPIRE BETWEEN 2027 AND 2036. THE SYSTEM HAS REVIEWED ITS TAX POSITIONS FOR ALL OPEN YEARS AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT NO LIABILITIES EXIST FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. THE SYSTEM'S INCOME TAX RETURNS ARE NO LONGER SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION FOR 2014 AND PRIOR YEARS. THE TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT (ACT) WAS ENACTED ON DECEMBER 22, 2017. THE ACT REDUCES THE U.S. FEDERAL CORPORATE TAX RATE FROM 35% TO 21%, REQUIRES COMPANIES TO PAY A ONE-TIME TRANSITION TAX ON EARNINGS OF CERTAIN FOREIGN SUBSIDIARIES THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY TAX DEFERRED, AND CREATES NEW TAXES ON CERTAIN FOREIGN SOURCED EARNINGS. FOR TAX-EXEMPT ENTITIES, THE ACT ALSO REQUIRES ORGANIZATIONS TO CATEGORIZE CERTAIN FRINGE BENEFIT EXPENSES AS A SOURCE OF UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME, PAY AN EXCISE TAX ON REMUNERATION ABOVE CERTAIN THRESHOLDS THAT IS PAID TO EXECUTIVES BY THE ORGANIZATION, AND REPORT INCOME OR LOSS FROM UNRELATED BUSINESS ACTIVITIES ON AN ACTIVITY-BY-ACTIVITY BASIS, AMONG OTHER PROVISIONS. AT DECEMBER 31, 2018, THE SYSTEM HAS MADE A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TAX EFFECTS OF THE ENACTMENT OF THE ACT. CERTAIN REGULATORY GUIDANCE PROVIDES FOR A MEASUREMENT PERIOD OF UP TO ONE YEAR DURING WHICH THE ACCOUNTING FOR THE TAX EFFECTS OF THE ACT MAY BE COMPLETED. THE SYSTEM MAY RECORD FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS IN FUTURE PERIODS UPON OBTAINING, PREPARING, OR ANALYZING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES THAT EXISTED AS OF THE DATE OF ENACTMENT THAT WOULD HAVE AFFECTED THE INCOME TAX EFFECTS INITIALLY REPORTED. THE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO REVISE AND REFINE THE CALCULATIONS AS ADDITIONAL INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE GUIDANCE IS ISSUED.
