Deductible amounts cause taxable income to be greater than pretax financial income in the future as a result of existing temporary differences.
6.
A deferred tax asset represents the increase in taxes refundable in future years as a result of deductible temporary differences existing at the end of the current year.
7.
A company reduces a deferred tax asset if it is possible that it will not realize some portion of the deferred tax asset.
8.
Companies should consider both positive and negative evidence to determine whether, based on the weight of available evidence, it needs adjust the deferred tax asset.
9.

Taxable temporary differences will result in taxable amounts in future years when the related assets are recovered.
11.
Examples of taxable temporary differences are subscriptions received in advance and advance rental receipts.
12.
Permanent differences do not give rise to future taxable or deductible amounts.
13.

15.
Under the loss carryback approach, companies must apply a current year loss to the most recent year first and then to an earlier year.

The tax effect of a loss carryforward represents future tax savings and results in the recognition of a deferred tax asset.
17.
A possible source of taxable income that may be available to realize a tax benefit for loss carryforwards is existing taxable temporary differences.

EXERCISES Ex. 19-118—Computation of taxable income. The records for Bosch Co. show this data for 2015:
Gross profit on installment sales recorded on the books was $360,000. Gross profit for tax purposes from collections of installment receivables was $270,000.
Machinery was acquired in January for $300,000. Straight-line depreciation over a ten-year life (no residual value) is used. For tax purposes, Accelerated depreciation is used and Bosch may deduct 20% for 2015.
Interest received on governmental obligations was $9,000.
The estimated warranty liability related to 2015 sales was $19,600. Repair costs under warranties during 2015 were $13,600. The remainder will be incurred in 2016.
Pretax financial income is $600,000. The tax rate is 30%.

Ex. 19-119—Future taxable and deductible amounts. Define temporary differences, future taxable amounts, and future deductible amounts. Solution 19-119 Temporary differences are differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements that will result in taxable amounts or deductible amounts in future years. Future taxable amounts increase taxable income in future years and cause a deferred tax liability to be recorded. Future deductible amounts decrease taxable income in future years and cause a deferred tax asset to be recorded.
Ex. 19-120—Deferred income taxes. Pole Co. at the end of 2015, its first year of operations, prepared a reconciliation between pretax financial income and taxable income as follows: Pretax financial income Extra depreciation taken for tax purposes Estimated expenses deductible for taxes when paid Taxable income
$ 420,000 (1,050,000) 840,000 $ 210,000
Use of the depreciable assets will result in taxable amounts of $350,000 in each of the next three years. The estimated litigation expenses of $840,000 will be deductible in 2018 when settlement is expected. Instructions (a) Prepare a schedule of future taxable and deductible amounts.

Ex. 19-122—Recognition of deferred tax asset. (a) (b)
Describe a deferred tax asset. When is it not appropriate to recognize a portion or all of a deferred tax asset?
Solution 19-122 (a)
A deferred tax asset is the deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards. It represents the increase in taxes refundable in future years as a result of deductible temporary differences existing at the end of the current year.
Accounting for Income Taxes (b)
19 - 35
A deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences. However, a deferred tax asset should be reduced if, based on all available evidence, it is probable that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

For accounting purposes, a company reports revenue from installment sales on the accrual basis. For income tax purposes, it reports the revenues by the installment method, deferring recognition of gross profit until cash is collected.
(b) Pretax accounting income and taxable income differ because dividends received from other corporations was deducted from taxable income, while all of the dividends received was reported for financial statement purposes. (c)
Estimated warranty costs (covering a three-year warranty) are expensed for accounting purposes at the time of sale but deducted for income tax purposes when paid.
Accounting for Income Taxes
19 - 37
Solution 19-124 (a)
Temporary difference. This difference in the timing of revenue recognition for pretax financial income and taxable income will initially increase pretax financial income, but will increase taxable income by the amount of deferred gross profits as cash is collected in subsequent years. Assuming the estimate as to collectibility of installment receivables is valid, the total amounts reported as gross profits for accounting purposes and for tax purposes will be equal over the life of the installment receivables. The time lag between the accrual for accounting purposes and the recognition for tax purposes will result in credit entries to a company's deferred tax liability as long as installment sales are level or increasing. The credit entries related to particular installment receivables will be "drawn down," or reversed, however, when the receivables are collected.
(b)
Permanent difference. This difference in pretax financial income and taxable income will never reverse because some countries’ tax laws allow a company that owns stock in another corporation to deduct the dividends it receives from that company. Taxes will not be paid on the dividends deducted and there are no tax consequences for those dividends, even though they are recognized as income for book purposes.
(c)
Temporary difference. The full estimated three years of warranty expenses reduce the current year's pretax financial income, but will reduce taxable income in varying amounts each year as paid. Assuming the estimate for each warranty is valid, the total amounts deducted for accounting and for tax purposes will be equal over the three-year period for each warranty. This is an example of an expense that, in the first period, reduces pretax financial income more than taxable income and, in later years, reverses and reduces taxable income without affecting pretax financial income.
Ex. 19-125—Temporary differences. There are four types of temporary differences. For each type: (1) indicate the cause of the difference, (2) give an example, and (3) indicate whether it will create a taxable or deductible amount in the future. Solution 19-125 (a)
Revenues or gains are taxable after they are recognized in financial income. Examples are installment sales, long-term construction contracts, and the equity method of accounting for investments. They result in future taxable amounts.
(b) Revenues or gains are taxable before they are recognized in financial income. Examples are subscriptions received in advance and rents received in advance. They result in future deductible amounts. (c)
Expenses or losses are deductible before they are recognized in financial income. Examples are excess depreciation, prepaid expenses, and pension funding in excess of pension expense. They result in future taxable amounts.
(d)
Expenses or losses are deductible after they are recognized in financial income. Examples are warranty expenses, estimated litigation losses, and unrealized holding loss on securities. They result in future deductible amounts.
