Under that guidance, NACEDA may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position.Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of NACEDA and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities as of year end. NACEDAs policy would be to recognize interest and penalties, if any, on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. No interest and penalties were assessed or recorded during the year. true National CAPACD 1025 Connecticut Avenue 1017 Washington DC 20036 912121566 501C3 15000 1 X X false false false false false false false false false FRANK WOODRUFF Executive Director 147782 3150 150932 Members or stockholder classes and rights Part VI line 6 NACEDA (d/b/a Community Opportunity Alliance) is an alliance of 38 state and regional community development associations in 25 states and the District of Columbia.
