In addition, the Institute qualifies for the charitablecontribution deduction under Section 170(b)(1)(A) and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under Section 509(a)(2).The Institute adopted the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, on January 1, 2009. As required by the uncertain tax position guidance in ASC 740, the Institute recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position after an audit. At the adoption date, the Institute applied the uncertain tax position guidance in ASC 740 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations has remained open. As a result of the implementation of the uncertain tax position guidance in ASC 740, the Institute has not recognized additional liability for unrecognized tax benefits nor any interest and penalties as of December 31, 2024. Management does not anticipate that this will change significantly in the next twelve months.The Institute files income tax returns in the U. S. federal jurisdiction. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. With few exceptions, The Institute is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2021.
