Course Overview

Even at a basic level, ASC 740 (previously FAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes, is a challenging pronouncement to master and apply in terms of preparing the corporate tax provision. 

In part one of this series, we will examine some of the basic concepts to ensure practical application for accounting for income taxes based on income. From terms and definitions to calculations and reporting, the financial accounting standard for calculating and reporting income tax provisions demands close attention.  ASC 740 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the effects of income taxes - federal, foreign, state, and local - that result from an enterprise's activities during the current and preceding years. As a result of these efforts, companies can recognize current-year taxes due or refundable and manage expected future tax consequences of deferred assets and liabilities.  

This CPE Accounting Webinar will take the building block concepts learned in the ASC 740 Introduction Course and place practical applications to the concepts.  We will use multiple examples and scenarios to explain the concepts. All tax professionals who want a basic understanding of ASC 740/FAS 109 concepts and the tools to prepare basic tax provisions will benefit from this course.  These concepts include understanding entities impacted by ASC 740 and defining a “tax based on income”, examining discounting and reviewing concepts of changes in accounting estimates and errors along with temporary and permanent differences.

Major Topics Covered:

  • Purpose of Deferred taxes
  • How to book temporary vs. permanent differences
  • Application of the concept of Deferred Tax Assets and liabilities to scenarios
  • Application uncertainty for income tax
  • How to outline concepts that are embedded in tax based on income
  • How to apply recognition and measurement issues to estimates and errors
