        <ExplanationTxt>The instructions to the 2021 Form 990 indicate that organizations exempt under Section 501 (c)(12) should report patronage dividends paid to their members in Part IX, Line 4 of the Form 990. Cookson Hills Electric Cooperative has interpreted the words "patronage dividends paid" in the instructions to mean margins that are assigned or assignable to the members. Cookson Hills Electric Cooperative assigns the net margins to its members each year. Therefore, the amount listed in Part IX, Line 4 represents the net margins assignable to the members for the calendar year ended December 31, 2021.</ExplanationTxt>
