| Explanation | We use a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and disclosures regarding uncertainties in income tax positions. The first step is recognition: we determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in one or more of the following: an increase in liability for income taxes payable, a reduction of an income tax refund receivable, a reduction in a deferred tax asset, or an increase in a deferred tax liability. We have not identified any uncertain tax positions requiring adjustment or disclosure. | ExplanationTxt |

| Form 990, Schedule R, Part V, Line 2d (Transaction Type A-P) | The method used by Peoples Telephone Cooperative, Inc. to determine the value of the services, cash, and other assets reported in column (c): Peoples Telephone Cooperative, Inc. (PTC) operates in a regulated environment, and as such, is required to record transactions with related organizations according to Part 32.27 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Under these regulations, assets sold or transferred between the taxpayer and its affiliate pursuant to a tariff, including a tariff filed with a state commission, are valued at the tariffed rate. If no tariff exists, the transaction is valued at prevailing rates charged by the taxpayer to non-affiliate entities, as long as over 25% of the total output for that type of asset or service is with non-affiliates. All other sales (or transfers) of assets or services to nonregulated affiliates are valued at the greater of net book cost or fair market value. Purchases (or transfers) of assets or services from nonregulated affiliates are valued at the lower of net book cost or fair market value. The only exception to the above, is if PTC purchases from its affiliate services that are neither tariffed nor subject to prevailing company prices and such affiliate exists solely to provide services to members of PTC's corporate family, such services are valued at fully distributed cost.Fair market value is determined by PTC's geographical location and transactions with non-related entities. |
