GAAP prescribes recognition thresholds and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Tax benefits or liabilities will be recognized only if the tax position would "more-likely-than-not" be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized will be the largest amount of tax benefit or liability that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely-than-not test, no tax benefit or liability will be recorded. Management has concluded that they are unaware of any tax benefits or liabilities to be recognized at December 31, 2024 and does not expect this to change in the next 12 months. The Organization would recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in interest and income tax expense, respectively. The Organization does not have amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. true true false true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true Schedule E, Part I, Line 3 RACIALLY NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY THE CORPORATION'S STATEMENT OF ITS NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY ARE INCLUDED ON THE COMPANY WEBSITE AND IN ALL BROCHURES, APPLICATION FORMS, ADVERTISEMENTS, AND OTHER MATERIALS CONCERNING THE CORPORATION'S PROGRAMS.
