Course Description

Most electric cooperatives are exempt from federal income taxation. If, however, an electric cooperative loses its exemption, then it becomes “nonexempt” or “taxable.” If it continues operating as a cooperative, then it becomes a taxable electric cooperative. This free webinar will explore what it means to be a taxable electric cooperative.
