| Form And Line Reference | Part X, Line 2-Text in footnote regarding FIN 48 (ASC 740) | FormAndLineReferenceDesc |
| Explanation | The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, The Collaborative may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 likelihood ofbeing realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities at year-end.The Collaboratives policy would be to recognize interest and penalties, if any, on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. No interest and penalties were assessed or recorded during the year. | ExplanationTxt |
