E19-6 (Identify Temporary or Permanent Differences) Listed below are items that are commonly accounted for differently for financial reporting purposes than they are for tax purposes. Instructions For each item below, indicate whether it involves:
(1) A temporary difference that will result in future deductible amounts and, therefore, will usually give rise to a deferred income tax asset. (2) A temporary difference that will result in future taxable amounts and, therefore, will usually give rise to a deferred income tax liability. (3) A permanent difference. Use the appropriate number to indicate your answer for each. (a) ___2___The MACRS depreciation system is used for tax purposes, and the straight-line depreciation method is used for financial reporting purposes for some plant assets. (b) __1____A landlord collects some rents in advance. Rents received are taxable in the period when they are received. (c) __3____Expenses are incurred in obtaining tax-exempt income. (d) __1____Costs of guarantees and warranties are estimated and accrued for financial reporting purposes. (e) ___2___Installment sales of investments are accounted for by the accrual method for financial reporting purposes and the installment-sales method for tax purposes. (f) ___3___Interest is received on an investment in tax-exempt municipal obligations.

(g) __2____For some assets, straight-line depreciation is used for both financial reporting purposes and tax purposes, but the assets lives are shorter for tax purposes. (h) __3____Proceeds are received from a life insurance company because of the death of a key officer. (The company carries a policy on key officers.) (i) ___3___The tax return reports a deduction for 80% of the dividends received from U.S. corporations. The cost method is used in accounting for the related investments for financial reporting purposes (see Notes below). (j) __1____Estimated losses on pending lawsuits and claims are accrued for books. These losses are tax-deductible in the period(s) when the related liabilities are settled. (k) ___1___Expenses on stock options are accrued for financial reporting purposes.

Notes; (i) 3: When the cost method is used for financial reporting purposes, the dividends are recognized in the income statement in the period they are received, which is the same period they must be reported on the tax return. However, depending on the level of ownership by the investor, 70 % or 80% of the dividends received from other US corporations may be excluded from taxation because of a dividends received deduction. These tax exempt dividends create a permanent difference.

(a) In a period in which a taxable temporary difference reverses, the reversal will cause taxable income to be __greater than_____ (less than, greater than) pretax financial income.

SUMMARY WEEK 2

In regard to deferred taxes, please remember that they result from differences between taxable and financial income. Temporary differences, due to depreciation, installment sale revenue recognition, prepaid expenses or unearned income will reverse. The deferred tax asset or liability appearing on the balance sheet will reflect the remaining differences that will reverse. If a temporary difference causes taxable income to be lower than financial income, a deferred tax liability is created. If a temporary difference causes taxable income to be higher than financial income, a deferred tax asset is created. If both an asset and liability are created, GAAP requires they be separately presented and not netted on the financial statements. Permanent differences do not cause deferred tax assets or liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non current depending upon when they are expected to reverse or when the benefit of an NOL will be realized. NOL's can be carried back five years and result in a receivable and reduction of income tax expenses. Any carryforward (up to 20 years is permitted) creates a future deferred tax asset and also reduces tax expense.

Pretax financial income is a number shown in a company's income statement prepared under GAAP. The FASBs purpose in establishing accounting principles used to derive a company's earnings is to provide useful information to investors and creditors. Taxable income is a number shown in a corporation's income tax return. It is a statutory definition of income that is used by the IRS to raise money to fund the government and to achieve certain social objectives. A temporary difference shows the amount between the tax basis of an asset or liability and the financial basis on the balance sheet. The results will be an increase to taxable income when the deferred tax asset is recovered (reduced) or a decrease to taxable income when the deferred tax liability is settled. Permanent differences are items that are included in either financial income or taxable income but never recognized in the other. These permanent differences between pretax financial income and taxable income for a given year will not reverse in the future. There are no deferred tax assets or liabilities that result from permanent differences. Examples of permanent differences include interest received on state and municipal obligations, proceeds from life insurance on key executives, and compensation expense associated with certain employee stock options.
