Form 990, Part IX, Line 4The instructions to the 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. Joe Wheeler Electric Membership Corporation has interpreted the words "patronage dividends paid" in the instructions to mean margins that are assigned or assignable to the members. Joe Wheeler Electric Membership Corporation assigns the net margins to its members each year. Therefore, the amount listed in Part IX, Line 4 represents the net margins assigned to the members for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.
