With regard to income, cooperatives may qualify as a “single taxed” or pass-through entity in the eyes of federal or state taxing authorities. This means that the tax liability for income to the cooperative is passed through to the members rather than “double” taxed at both the cooperative and member level. Like any other business, cooperatives pay other types of taxes such as employment or property taxes.
