Income generated from activities unrelated to the Dallas Winds' exempt purpose is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. The Organization had no unrelated business income for the year ended July 31, 2025. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax.GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Organization's tax return and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Dallas Winds has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Dallas Winds and has concluded that as of July 31, 2025 there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.
