Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote The Museum is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is similarly exempt from Tennessee state income taxes under provision of the Tennessee tax regulations. The Museum has been determined to be a public charity under Section 509(a) of the IRC. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements. However, the Museum is required to report unrelated business income to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the state of Tennessee on its restaurant, catering and gift store operations, as well as pay certain other taxes to local jurisdictions. Individual donors are entitled to the maximum charitable deduction under Section 170(c) of the Code. There was no unrelated business income tax provision for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The Museum has available approximately $732,000 of loss carryforwards for business income taxes which may be carried forward indefinitely until the loss is fully recovered. The amount of carryforwards for any one tax year is limited to 80% of taxable income. The net operating loss was generated primarily by the restaurant and gift shop, which was closed as of June 30, 2017, but re-opened in December 2017. At June 30, 2025, the Museum had an unused tax benefit of approximately $154,000, related to the net operating loss carryforwards for business income tax purposes. A valuation allowance of $154,000 has been recognized at June 30, 2025, to offset the deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefit of the loss carryforwards. The Museum has determined that it does not have any material unrecognized tax benefits or obligations as of June 30, 2025, and there are no interest and penalties related to income tax assessments.
