Form And Line ReferencePart X, Line 2:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationTSEC has adopted the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, TSEC may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. TSEC has analyzed its tax positions taken on tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no additional provision or benefit exists and no amounts are recorded for interest or penalties.ExplanationTxt

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1The board has an executive committee made up of the president, vice president, secretary/treasurer, second vice president, immediate past president if still a director, and an at-large director elected by the board. The executive committee is authorized to approve non-budgeted expenses up to $200,000. The Second Vice President is a non-voting member of the committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 3TSEC has a written agreement with National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), a seperate non-profit organization, to provide administrative and management services to TSEC.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6The members of TSEC are: 1) full members, 2) regional members, and 3) any other types or classes of membership ("associate members"), with respective rights, responsibilities, and dues as the board of directors may from time to time establish in the best interest of the organization.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aTSEC has 13 board members. They elect a President, Vice-President, Secretary/Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Second Vice-President and an Officer At-Large.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7bThe organization is incorporated under the Virginia Cooperative Associations and Non-Stock Corporations Acts. Under the organization's articles of incorporation and bylaws, there are three classes of members; full members, regional members and associate members. Full members and regional members have voting rights. Under Non-Stock Corporation Act, the members of the organization must approve a plan of merger recommended by the board or a board proposal to dissolve the organization. Additionally, the organization's bylaws require that an amendment or repeal of any bylaw must be approved by a two-thirds majority vote of the voting members.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Director of Corporate Accounting and Senior VP of Finance review the Form 990 and supporting work papers in detail. The Form 990 is then provided to the TSEC Board of Directors through their electronic portal and also by email for their review and comment in advance of the return being filed.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe policy is monitored and enforced by review of the annual conflicts disclosure forms submitted by each Board member. Additionally, legal counsel reviews the requirements of the policy with the Board at least annually and is available for questions regarding potential conflicts and policy interpretation at any time. Further, regarding the policy: --The conflict of interest policy applies to the board members --Actual conflicts are reviewed by the Board President with the assistance of legal counsel --Restrictions that may be imposed in the event of an actual conflict, depend on the magnitude of the conflict and include: prohibiting the board member with the conflict from participating in the deliberations and recusal from voting.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15Since TSEC does not have any employees, TSEC does not have a compensation determination process. The Board of Directors does approve the annual expenses paid to its outside management company via their annual budget review and approval process.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19TSEC distributes its audited financial statements and annual Form 990 tax returns to the TSEC Board of Directors. TSEC makes the Form 990 available on the member-only section of Cooperative.com. The conflict of interest policy is reviewed annually with board members.
