| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The Form 990 was reviewed by management before it was presented to the board.

| Form 990, Part IX, Line 4 | The instructions to the 2016 Form 990 indicate that organizations exempt under Section 501(c)(12) should report patronage dividends paid to their members in Part IX, Line 4 of the Form 990. South Alabama Electric Cooperative has interpreted the words "patronage dividends paid" in the instructions to mean margins that are assigned or assignable to the members. South Alabama Electric Cooperative assigns the net margins less an amount representing deferred revenue that has previously been allocated to the members in total in 2009. Therefore, the amount listed in Part IX, Line 4 represents the current year net margins assigned to the members less the portion of deferred revenue previously allocated to the members. |
