ExplanationThe Cooperative is a tax-exempt organization under the provisions of Section 501(c)(12) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is recorded in the accompanying financial statements. However, the Cooperative is subject to tax on unrelated business income (see Note 4).The Cooperative has not identified any uncertain income tax positions that would jeopardize its tax-exempt status. The Cooperatives income tax returns are subject to review and examination by taxing authorities. With few possible exceptions, the tax returns essentially remain open for possible examination for a period of three years after the respective filing deadlines of those returns.ExplanationTxt
