| Explanation | THE COOPERATIVE IS EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(12) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE COOPERATIVE'S WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY, SEA DEVELOPMENT, LLC, IS TREATED AS A DISREGARDED ENTITY FOR INCOME TAX PURPOSES. GAINS AND LOSSES FROM THE LLC ARE INCLUDED WITH THE COOPERATIVE'S UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME FOR TAX REPORTING PURPOSES. THE COOPERATIVE UTILIZES AN ASSET AND LIABILITY APPROACH TO FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING FOR INCOME TAXES. DEFERRED INCOME TAXES ARE COMPUTED ANNUALLY FOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND TAX BASIS OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES THAT WILL RESULT IN TAXABLE OR DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNTS IN THE FUTURE BASED ON ENACTED TAX LAWS AND RATES APPLICABLE TO THE PERIODS IN WHICH THE DIFFERENCES ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT TAXABLE INCOME. AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019, THE COOPERATIVE HAS A DEFERRED INCOME TAX ASSET OF $11,964 AND $28,181, RESPECTIVELY, SEE NOTE 16. VALUATION ALLOWANCES ARE ESTABLISHED WHEN NECESSARY TO REDUCE DEFERRED TAX ASSETS TO THE AMOUNT EXPECTED TO BE REALIZED. THE BENEFIT FOR INCOME TAXES IS THE TAX PAYABLE OR REFUNDABLE FOR THE PERIOD PLUS OR MINUS THE CHANGE DURING THE PERIOD IN DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES. THE COOPERATIVE EVALUATED ITS TAX POSITIONS AND DETERMINED THAT IT HAS NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019. WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, THE COOPERATIVE IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY TAX AUTHORITIES FOR YEARS BEFORE 2017. | ExplanationTxt |
