Section 501(c)(12) qualified transportation fringes

The IRS has provided guidance on how exempt taxpayers, like Section 501(c)(12) cooperatives, can claim a refund after the repealed provisions concerning qualified transportation fringes.  You can visit the IRS site for more information. 

The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2019 retroactively repealed Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 512(a)(7), which increased unrelated business taxable income by amounts paid or incurred for qualified transportation fringes. Congress had previously enacted this provision for amounts paid or incurred after December 31, 2017. 

If you wish to claim a refund or credit of the UBIT reported on your Form 990-T for 2017 or 2018 under Section 512(a)(7), you may do so by filing an amended Form 990-T as described in the form’s instructions.
