　　Income taxes allocation
　　Intraperiod：income taxes allocate to different lines of F/S，but in same year
　　Interperiod：income taxes allocate to different year.
　　Interperiod allocation prequel
　　Federal Tax purpose Income（TI）
　　Financial accounting Income（FI）
　　Normally TI≠FI
　　TI–FI=Difference
　　Difference=Permanent Diff+Temporary Diff
　　Temporary Diff CAUSE interperiod allocation.
　　Income taxes mainly allocate to Income Statement.
　　Income taxes may allocate to OCI and/or stockholder‘s equity.
　　Income taxes allocate to Continuing Operation is present separately.（in row）
　　Income taxes allocate to other items are net with those line.（in parenthesis）
　　Where does income tax go in intraperiod？
　　I/S+OCI+Equity
　　I/S=IDEA
　　OCI=PUFER
　　Equity=R.E+AOCI+……（5+1）
　　A.Objective
　　Q：Why need allocate income tax interperiod？
　　A：Matching
　　B. Difference
　　TI–FI=Difference
　　Difference=Permanent Diff+Temporary Diff
　　Permanent difference affect Current/ NOT Deferred
　　Temporary difference affect Deferred/NOT Current
　　C. Comprehensive Allocation
　　Temporary difference feature：TURN AROUND
　　Interperiod tax allocation is applied to all temporary differences
　　In F/S recognize DTL/DTA for temporary difference
　　Liability Method（Balance Sheet Approach）
　　D. Accounting for Interperiod Tax Allocation
　　Total Income tax expense=Current + Change in Deferred
　　Current= Current income tax payable on the corporate tax return（Form 1120）
　　Change in Deferred=End DTA/DTL-Beg DTA/DTL
　　For Permanent Difference
　　Affect only income per books or taxable income，but NOT both.
　　NEVER Turn around/Reverse
　　Only impact “Current” taxes
　　No Deferred Taxes
　　Examples：Municipal bond interest.
　　For Temporary Difference
　　Affect both income per books or taxable income.
　　Will Turn around/Reverse
　　Only impact“Deferred” taxes
　　No Current Taxes effect
　　B.Deferred Tax Liabilities and Assets RECOGNITION.
　　B1.Deferred Tax Liabilities （DTL）
　　DTL arise/RECONGNIZE when the amount of taxes paid in the current period LESS than the amount of income tax expense in the current period.
　　The 1st and 4th quadrant
　　B2. Deferred Tax Assets（DTA）
　　DTA arise/RECOGNIZE when the amount of taxes paid in the current period EXCEEDS the amount of income tax expense in the current period.
　　The 2nd and 3rd quadrant
　　B3.Valuation Allowance（Subsequent measurement）
　　MLTN：More Likely Than Not，greater than 50%
　　If it is MLTN that part or all of the deferred DTA will not be realized，a valuation allowance is recognized.
　　C.Uncertain Tax Positions
　　Firms often include an uncertain deduction or other favorable position in their tax return.
　　If the position is MLTN to be accepted or sustained upon audit，then income tax expense may be reduced for some or all of the benefit.
　　C1.Scope of Uncertain Tax Positions
　　A tax deduction
　　A decision to not file a tax return
　　An allocation or shift of income between jurisdictions
　　A decision to exclude reporting taxable income，in a tax return
　　A decision to classify transaction etc. as tax exempt.
　　C2.Two-step Approach
　　Step 1–Recognition of the Tax Benefit
　　If MLTN test failed，then NOT recognize tax benefit，and the F/S tax Expense is increased.
　　Step II–Measurement of the Tax Benefit
　　Recognize the largest amount of the tax benefit that MLTN of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority.
　　D.Enacted Tax Rate
　　Measurement of deferred taxes is based on the applicable tax rate.
　　Use the tax rate in effect when temporary difference reverses itself.
　　E.Treatment of and Adjustment for changes
　　Changes are recognized in the period of change（enactment）（prospective）
　　F.Net Temporary Adjustment
　　Deferred Income Tax expense/benefit=Ending balance of DTL/DTA-Beginning balance of DTL/DTA
　　G.Balance Sheet Presentation
　　Rule1.Deferred tax items should be classified based on the classification of the related asset or liability for the financial reporting.（血統(tǒng)論）
　　Rule2.Deferred tax items not related to an asset or liability should be classified based on the expected reversal date of the temporary difference.（NOL）
　　Rule3.Current DTL net with current DTA；non-current DTL net with non-current DTA.（門閥制）
　　Rule4.Valuation allowance allocated pro rata
　　Net Operating loss carry back 2 years or forward twenty years.
　　A.Tax carryback create a tax benefit，and should be recognized in the period they occur.
　　B.If an operating loss is carried forward，the tax effects are recognized to the extent that the benefit is MLTN to be realized.
　　Valuation allowance may be necessary.
　　Dividend received deduction based on upon the percentage of ownership
　　0-19%，70% exclusion
　　20-80%，80% exclusion
　　Over 80%，100% exclusion
　　Temporary Diff=Undistributed Earnings X（1- DRD%）
　　A.Balance Sheet Disclosures
　　The components of a net DTL/DTA
　　The net change during the year in the total valuation allowance.
　　B.Income Statement Disclosures.
　　The amount of income tax expenses（or benefit）allocated to continuing operations and the amount separately allocated to other items must be deisclosed.
　　Current tax expense or benefit
　　A.Method
　　Asset and liability approach–balance sheet approach
　　B.Difference
　　Permanent
　　Temporary
　　DTL
　　DTA
　　Valuation Allowance
　　C.Measurement
　　Use applicable enacted tax rates
　　Classifiction
　　Balance Sheet Related
　　Classify according to the related asset or liability causing the temporary difference
