ExplanationIncome taxes - The Cooperative is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(12) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, in any given year, if the Cooperative receives less than 85.0% of its total revenues from member services for purposes of the member income test under Section 501(c)(12), the Cooperative loses its tax-exempt status for that year. With few exceptions, the Cooperative is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the federal, state, or local tax authorities for the years before 2017. Management evaluated the Cooperative's tax positions and concluded that the Cooperative had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements.ExplanationTxt
