In addition, SSRAA qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(B)(1)(A) and has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under Section 509(A)(2). SSRAA follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes, and management believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken. SSRAA's most significant tax provisions are its assertion that it is exempt from income taxes to the extent that its activities are within its tax exempt mission, and its determination whether any activities are not within its mission and are therefore subject to unrelated business tax (UBIT). All significant tax positions have been considered by management, and has determined that it is more likely than not that all tax positions would be substantiated upon examination by taxing authorities. SSRAA's federal income tax returns (Form 990) are subject to possible examination by the IRS until the expiration of the related statutes of limitations on those tax returns, which, in general, have a three-year statute of limitations.
