ASC 740 requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of ASC 740 did not have an impact on BHA's statements of financial position or statements of activities. BHA does not believe its financial statements include any uncertain tax positions.BHA's Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, for the years ended August 31, 2020, 2021, and 2022 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.
