Client trust funds are not the property of ILS. ILS maintains said funds in a separate bank account which is included in Part X, Line 2. Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote ILS is exempt from income taxes on income from related activities under Section 501(c)(3) of the U. S. Internal Revenue Code and corresponding state tax law. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Additionally, ILS is not considered to be a private foundation under Section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. ILS follows guidance issued by the FASB with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is 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. ILS does not expect the total amount of unrecorded tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. ILS recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. ILS did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
