Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. The Institute is subject, however, to Federal and California income taxes on unrelated business income as stipulated in Internal Revenue Code Section 511 and Regulation Section 1.511. During the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Institute had no unrelated business income. The Institute annually evaluates tax positions as part of the preparation of its exempt tax return. This process includes an analysis of whether tax positions the Institute takes regarding a particular item of income or deduction would meet the definition of an uncertain tax position under current accounting guidance. The Institute believes its tax positions are appropriate based on current facts and circumstances. The Institute's policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Institute did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Institute is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2021.
