ASC Topic 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements and established recognition and measurement criteria for tax positions taken in a tax return. The Foundation is an Illinois not-for-profit corporation recognized as exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. The Foundation received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service on December 9, 1965 stating that it is exempt from taxation on income related to its exempt purpose. There was no significant unrelated business income in 2024, and therefore, no provision for income taxes has been recorded.
