Accordingly, no accounting for federal or state income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. The Organization recognizes a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not the tax position would 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 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 will be recorded.
