However, income from certain activities not directly related to the Associations tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The Association generates approximately $25,000 - $30,000 of unrelated business taxable income each year. The Association only recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return if the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon an examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Management has analyzed tax positions taken for filings with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where the Association operates. Management believes that income tax filing positions would be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate that any adjustments would result in a material adverse effect on the Associations financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the Association has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at August 31, 2025. The Association is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits in progress for any tax periods. The Association believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2021.

At the time the extension was due, the organization was in the process of selecting and engaging a tax preparer for the preparation of its return. Because the engagement had not been finalized prior to the filing deadline, an extension request was not filed. The organization made a good-faith effort to comply with its filing obligations and believed that appropriate arrangements for tax preparation were being made. Once a tax preparer was engaged, the organization promptly provided the necessary information to complete the return, and the return was prepared and filed as soon as practicable. At all times, the organization intended to comply with its federal filing requirements and did not intentionally disregard its filing obligations. The late filing resulted from circumstances surrounding the engagement of a tax preparer and not from willful neglect. Given the organization's good-faith effort to comply, prompt action once the issue was identified, history of compliance with its filing obligations, and the absence of willful neglect, the organization respectfully requests that any penalties associated with this filing be abated under the reasonable cause provisions.
