Corporations must file income tax returns following the guidelines
developed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), thus they:
calculate taxes payable based upon IRS code,
calculate income tax expense based upon GAAP.
Amount reported as tax expense will often differ from the amount of
taxes payable to the IRS.

Illustration: KRC, Inc. reported revenues of $130,000 and expenses of
$60,000 in each of its first three years of operations. For tax purposes,
KRC reported the same expenses to the IRS in each of the years. KRC
reported taxable revenues of $100,000 in 2010, $150,000 in 2011, and
$140,000 in 2012. What is the effect on the accounts of reporting
different amounts of revenue for GAAP versus tax?

Temporary Differences
Temporary Differences
A Temporary Difference is the difference between the tax basis of an asset or
liability and its reported (carrying or book) amount in the financial statements that
will result in taxable amounts or deductible amounts in future years.
Future Taxable Amounts
Future Deductible Amounts
Deferred Tax Liability represents the
increase in taxes payable in future years as a
result of taxable temporary differences
existing at the end of the current year.
Deferred Tax Asset represents the increase
in taxes refundable (or saved) in future years
as a result of deductible temporary differences
existing at the end of the current year.
