DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. (LO 1) Taxable income differs from that reported in the financial statements primarily
because the two capture different constructs, meant for different purposes and for
different audiences.

2. (LO 1) Temporary differences are caused by income and expenses appearing in both
the financial statements and tax return but in different periods (i.e., a timing
difference). Permanent differences are caused by items appearing in the financial
statements or the tax return but not both. Both types of differences result in a gap
between book and taxable income. Temporary differences reverse over time, but
permanent differences do not.

3. (LO 1) Examples of temporary differences include the following:

• Cost recovery deductions for tax that differ in timing and amount from book
depreciation.

• GAAP requires use of the allowance method to recognize bad debt expense,
estimating the future collectibilty of receivables related to prior sales. For tax
purposes, a deduction for a bad debt is not allowed until an account is identified
as uncollectible.

• Warranty expenses accrued for book purposes but not deductible for tax purposes
until the services are provided.

• Goodwill is not expensed for book purposes unless and until impaired; § 197
permits the amortization of goodwill over 15 years.

Examples of permanent differences include the following:

• Municipal bond interest (i.e., nontaxable income).

• The disallowed portion of business meals expense (i.e., nondeductible expenses).

• Certain penalties.

• Federal income taxes.

• Tax credits.

Dear Mr. Jackson:

A significant difference may exist between a corporation’s U.S. Federal income
tax liability as reported on its Form 1120 (tax) and the corporation’s income tax
expense as reported on its financial statements (book) prepared using generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This difference can be caused primarily by the
following:

• Different definition of taxes included in the income tax expense amount.

• Different accounting methods.

• Intra-period allocation.

• Different criteria for recognizing the benefits of uncertain tax positions.

Different Taxes. The income tax expense reported on a corporation’s financial
statements is the combination of Federal, state, local, and foreign income taxes. The
income tax expense reported on the Form 1120 is the current-year Federal income
tax expense only.

Different Methods. Due to the different purposes served by GAAP and taxable income,
the period in which revenues and expenses are recognized often differs across the
two measures. As a result, many items of revenue and expense, though recognized
for both book and taxable income, impact a company’s taxable income (and tax
liability) in a different year than when they are reported in its book income. However,
GAAP requires that all of the tax related to the net income reported in the current-
