    Accounting for taxes and tax expense is extremely important to the company. Fundamental differences exist between accounting for taxes and the financial reporting of pretax income. Pretax financial income is calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Taxable income is calculated using Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, 2007). This difference in accounting principles creates a difference between taxable income and income tax payable. This difference results in a deferred tax amount. If the income tax expense is greater than the income tax payable, this results in a deferred tax liability. If the income tax payable is greater than the income tax expense, this results in a deferred tax asset. Deferred tax liabilities and assets cause temporary differences. Temporary differences are carried over into future years and adjustments are made accordingly (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, 2007).…
