  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.

  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)
