Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is included in these statements.Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an entity in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Trusts returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three years and four years, respectively, after they are filed.
