The IRS classified the organization as one that is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the Code because it is an organization described in section(s) 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi).The Agency has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 740-10, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.

ASC Section 740-10 requires that an organization recognize in the financial statements the impact of the tax position if that position will more likely than not be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. As of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, the Agency had no material unrecognized tax benefits, tax penalties or interest.The Agency Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, for each of the tax years ended June 30, 2022, 2021, and 2020, are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for 3 years after they were filed.The Agencys Forms 199, California Exempt Organization Return, for each of the tax years ended June 30, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019, are subject to examination by the Franchise Tax Board, generally for 4 years after they were filed.</ExplanationTxt>
