(a) Noncash patronage allocations from farmers’ cooperative and mutual associations (whether paid in capital stock, revolving fund certificates, retain certificates, certificates of indebtedness, letters of advice or in some other manner that discloses the dollar amount of such noncash patronage allocations) may, at the election of the taxpayer, be considered as income and included in gross income for the taxable year in which received.
(b) If a taxpayer exercises the election provided for in subdivision (a), the amount included in gross income shall be the face amount of such allocations.
(c) If a taxpayer elects to exclude noncash patronage allocations from gross income for the taxable year in which received, such allocations shall be included in gross income in the year that they are redeemed or realized upon.
(d) If a taxpayer exercises the election provided for in subdivision (c), the face amount of such noncash patronage allocations shall be disclosed in the return made for the taxable year in which such noncash patronage allocations were received.
(e) If a taxpayer exercises the election provided for in subdivision (a) or (c) for any taxable year, then the method of computing income so adopted shall be adhered to with respect to all subsequent taxable years unless with the approval of the Franchise Tax Board a change to a different method is authorized.
(f) If a taxpayer has made the election provided for in subdivision (c), then (1) the statutory period for the assessment of a deficiency for any taxable year in which the amount of any noncash patronage allocations are realized shall not expire prior to the expiration of four years from the date the Franchise Tax Board is notified by the taxpayer (in any manner as the Franchise Tax Board may by regulation prescribe) of the realization of gain on such allocations; and (2) that deficiency may be assessed prior to the expiration of the four-year period, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 19057 or the provisions of any other law or rule of law which would otherwise prevent such assessment.
