Interest on state and municipal bonds. Goodwill write-offsBook IncomeTaxable Income≠Enter into taxable income but never affect book income.Because permanent differences do not reverse, they do not give rise to deferred tax assets or liabilities.

The asset has a five-year life and no salvage value. It will be depreciated using the straight-line method for book purposes, but for tax purposes the sum-of-the-years’-digits method will be used. (Technically, firms are required to use MACRS depreciation for tax purposes.)Straight-lineSYD method13-*Understanding income tax reporting: Mitchell’s income tax payableAssume for Mitchell Corporation that depreciation is the only book versus tax difference.If income before depreciation is expected to be $20,000 each year over the next five years, and the statutory tax rate is 35%, then:Taxes Due13-*Understanding income tax reporting: Mitchell’s temporary differencesDepreciation ExpenseIncome13-*Understanding income tax reporting: The mismatch problemIf book income tax expense is set equal to actual taxes payable each year, then:Expense increases with taxes dueBook income declines13-*Understanding income tax reporting: A financial reporting distortionWhen book income tax expense is set equal to the actual taxes payable each year, there is a mismatch:Figure 13.2MITCHELL CORPORATIONTax Expense without Interperiod Tax Allocation13-*Understanding income tax reporting: The FASB’s solutionInterperiod tax allocation overcomes the mismatch problem.The “extra” tax depreciation in early years will be offset by lower tax depreciation in later years.The “extra” tax depreciation thus generates a liability for future taxes.Recording this deferred tax liability as it accrues eliminates the mismatch.$3,333$2,000$1,333 of “extra” depreciation in year 1Tax depreciationBook depreciationFuture tax liability is $1,333 X 35% or $46713-*Deferred income tax accounting: Interperiod tax allocationFASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires that the journal entry for income taxes reflect both:Taxes currently dueAny liability for future taxes arising from current period book-versus-tax differences that will reverse in later periods.ReversingOriginating13-*Deferred income tax accounting: Calculating tax expenseRelation between tax expense, taxes payable, and changes in deferred tax liabilities13-*Deferred income tax accounting: The mismatch is eliminatedFigure 13.4MITCHELL CORPORATIONTax Expense with Interperiod Tax Allocation13-*Deferred income tax assets: Computing income tax expenseRelation between tax expense, taxes payable, and changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities13-*Deferred income tax assets: Valuation allowancesThe FASB requires firms with deferred tax assets to assess the likelihood that those assets may not be fully realized in future periods.Realization depends on whether or not the firm has future taxable income.0%50%100%“More likely than not ”DTA carrying value is reduced until the new amount falls within this rangeProbability that DTA will NOT be realizedDeferred tax asset (DTA) valuation allowance is then required 13-*Norman Corporation records a deferred tax asset in 2014 related to accrued warranty expenses:Deferred income tax assets: Valuation allowance exampleIn early 2015, Norman determines that it is unlikely to earn enough taxable income in future years to realize more than $200,000 of the deferred tax asset.

The earnings impact depends on:Whether the tax rates are increased or decreased.Whether the firm has net deferred tax assets or net deferred tax liabilities.The magnitude of the deferred tax balance.13-*Understanding income tax note disclosures: Tax expense componentsGAAP tax expenseTaxes dueDue to temporary differences in revenue and expense items reported on Deere’s 2012 GAAP income statement versus what was reported on its 2012 tax return.13-*Understanding the tax footnote: Intraperiod tax allocationThis reconciliation is required under GAAP rules for income tax disclosureThe divergence between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate arises from:Permanent difference itemsState and local taxesDifferential tax rates in foreign jurisdictionsVarious tax credits13-*Understanding the tax footnote: Intraperiod tax allocationItems 6 and 7 represent the deferred tax item balances at December 31, 201213-*Measuring and Reporting Uncertain Tax PositionsTax position – refers to a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is reflected in measuring current taxes payable or deferred income taxes. Uncertain tax positions arise, for example, when the firm claims a deduction for an expense that the IRS auditors may later disallowGAAP procedures require a two-step process to determine how much benefit to recognize from an uncertain tax position and how to report its tax contingency reserve as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.Step 1 – determine if the threshold of more likely than not (more than 50%) is applicable.Step 2 – measure the tax benefit as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized.Recorded as an increase in the Tax Contingency Reserve account13-*Assessing Disclosures on Uncertain Tax Positions13-*Understanding the tax note: Analytical insightsLarge increases in deferred income tax liabilities are a potential sign of deteriorating earnings quality.Consider ChipPAC. The depreciation-induced increase in the company’s deferred tax liability could be due to:Growth in capital expendituresChange in estimated useful lives of existing equipmentSudden decreases in deferred income tax assets are also a potential sign of deteriorating earnings quality.13-*Extracting Analytical Insights from Note Disclosures Elsewhere ChipPAC said it increased the estimated useful lives of certain equipment from 5 to 8 years. This change decreased depreciation expense for the year by $29 million.13-*Understanding the tax footnote: Using Deferred Tax Footnotes to Assess Earnings QualityOn January 1, 2014 Carson Company begins offering a one-year warranty on all sales. Its 2014 sales were $20 million, and Carson estimates that warranty expenses will be 1% of sales or $200,000. Warranty expense of $200,000 is deducted on Carson’s books in 2014. Tax deductions for warranties in 2014 are zero.Shows that the deferred income tax asset balance will remain stable if the warranty estimate is accurate and if sales volume is unchanged.13-*Using Tax Notes to Improve Interfirm ComparabilityCubic’s10-K states:Nanometrics’10-K states:13-*13-*Using Tax Notes to Improve Interfirm ComparabilityGlobal Vantage PointKey differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP income tax accounting rulesDifferenceGAAPIFRSApproach for recognizing deferred tax assetsUses a valuation account for deferred tax asset if book basis is different from the tax basisNo valuation accountReconciliation of statutory and effective tax ratesUses the domestic federal statutory rateUses a statutory rateReporting of deferred taxes on the balance sheetClassifies deferred tax assets and liabilities as current or noncurrent depending on the nature of the temporary differenceDeferred tax assets and liabilities are reported as noncurrentDisclosure of income tax amount recognized directly in equityNot requiredMust disclose the aggregate amount of current or deferred income tax income or expense to Other Comprehensive IncomeUncertain tax positionsExtensive guidance under FASB ASC 740No specific guidance. IAS 12 calls for tax assets and liabilities to be measured at the amount expected to be paid13-*SummaryThe rules for computing income for financial reporting purposes—book income—differ from those for computing income for tax purposes.The differences between book income and taxable income are caused by both permanent and temporary (timing) differences in the revenue and expense items reported on a company’s books versus its tax return.Temporary differences give rise to both deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities.Deferred tax accounting allows firms to report tax costs (or benefits) on the income statement in the same period as the related revenue or expense items are reported (matching principle).13-*Summary concludedThe income tax foot provides useful information for understanding how much tax is paid and how much is deferred each year. Tax notes also help explain why effective tax rates may differ from the statutory rate.Tax notes provide useful information that can be exploited to improve interfirm comparability and evaluate firms’ earnings quality.GAAP disclosures are useful in assessing a firm’s uncertain tax positions and whether the firm is aggressive or conservative in recognizing the benefits associated with these positions.There are a number of differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP rules for accounting for income taxes that you should be aware of.13-*
