ExplanationThe Society is a not-for-profit organization exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, certain activities not directly related to the Society's tax-exempt purpose are subject to taxation. The Society's primary activity subject to taxation includes the sale of its membership list. For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, there was no net unrelated business taxable income, as expenses associated with the sale of its membership list exceeded revenues earned during the year. The Society is not currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or the State of North Carolina.ExplanationTxt
