In addition, management believes that there is no unrelated business income subject to taxation. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Museum and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Museum has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would be substantiated upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Museum, and has concluded that as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Museum is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.The Museum files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of South Carolina.
