Schedule D, Part X, Line 2The Cooperative is exempt under Section 501(c)(12) of the Internal Revenue Code from federal income tax for any year in which 85% of its gross income is derived from members but is responsible for income taxes on certain unrelated business income. ASC Topic 740-10, Income Taxes, clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and income recognized in the financial statements. This interpretation requires financial statement recognition of the impact of a tax position if a position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Additionally, ASC Topic 740-10 provides guidance on measurement recognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The Cooperative has determined that more than 85% of its gross income is derived from members and it meets the exemption status under Section 501(c)(12).

Participants become 100% vested and the account balance paid out upon attaining age 62 or if separation occurs due to involuntary termination without cause, disability, or death. Separation for any other reason before age 62 will result in participants forfeiting their benefits. 457(f) payments made in 2023 include: Anthony S. Campbell, $140,400; Don M. Mosier, $149,946; and David M. Crews, $59,953. These amounts, which represent what would have been contributed to the plan if they had not attained age 62 in a previous year, are included in other reportable compensation on Schedule J, Part II, Column B(iii). The Cooperative also participates in a Deferred Compensation Pension Restoration Plan, which is intended to provide a supplemental benefit to highly compensated employees who would experience a reduction in their pension benefit from the NRECA Retirement and Security Plan due to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Campbell received a Pension Restoration Plan payment of $210,525 which is included in other reportable compensation on Schedule J, Part II, Column B(iii).
