Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Part X : FIN48 FootnoteThe Cooperative has a letter of exemption from federal income tax, issued by the Internal Revenue Service and files IRS Form 990 annually. An evaluation of whether or not it has uncertain tax positions is determined on an annual basis by the Association. While the Association believes it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be different than the positions taken by the Association. The Association recognized any interest and penalties assessed by taxing authorities in income tax expense and, with few exceptions, is no longer subject to federal, state, or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2016.
Part XII, Line 4b: Other revenue amounts included on 990 but not included in F/SMargins Assigned to Members $694120

ExplanationForm 990, Schedule J, Column C Actual contributions paid by the cooperative during the tax year are significantly less than the actuarial increases required to be listed in this section of the Form 990. Actual R&S contributions paid by the cooperative during the tax year were $30,642 for Mr. Goeckel, $19,186 for Mr. Hebert and $18,499 for Mr. Wessell. This column includes the amount paid for deferred compensation and the increase in actuarial value of benefits payable under a defined benefit retirement plan. The contribution rate for participants in the NRECA R&S defined benefit pension plan is the same for all individuals in this multi-employer plan. The change in actuarial value for each participant, however, varies with age. In other words, the older a plan participant is, the greater the increase in that individual's changes in actuarial value, all other things being equal.ExplanationTxt
