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.

What is NSAC's Cooperative Learning Network?
The NSAC Cooperative Learning Network is a live, interactive webinar, and you can attend from any location with internet and/or telephone access. NSAC members can attend an unlimited number of CLNs at no charge!

Each Cooperative Learning Network will have one or more speakers who are recognized experts on the topic. CLNs typically include a Q&A session where participants can ask questions live or by chat. No advance preparation or prerequisites are required, unless otherwise stated in the course information. Attendees are able to download copies of the slides and/or handouts and are provided a link to view the recording (unless the description states the session will not be recorded). These tools help continue your learning experience after the session.
