This pronouncement seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position that an entity takes or expects to take in a tax return. An entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions which meet a "more likely than not" threshold. The Organization assesses its income tax positions based on management's evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. The Organization uses the prescribed "more likely than not" threshold when making its assessment. The Organization has not accrued any interest expense or penalties related to tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2024, and there are currently no open federal or state tax years under audit.
