Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Museum is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Service Code (IRC) as an organization described in IRC section 501(c)(3). Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made related to the Museum. However, should the Museum engage in activities unrelated to the purpose for which it was created, taxable income could result. The Museum has not incurred any federal income tax for the year ended December 31, 2024.GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Museums tax returns and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Museum has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Museum and has concluded that as December 31, 2024, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.
