PART X, LINE 2: The WCC follows the provisions of authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2023. Under this guidance, tax positions are evaluated for recognition using a more-likely-than-not threshold, and those tax positions requiring recognition are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The WCC has evaluated the likelihood of its tax-exempt status being challenged as remote. Accordingly, the WCC has not included any income tax provisions or any potential liabilities for taxes on unrelated business income, including interest and penalties, in the financial statements related to potential violations of its tax-exempt status. There are no income tax related interest or penalties reflected in these financial statements.
