  2. Fundamentals of Accounting for Income Taxes Illustration Assume the company reports revenue in 2007, 2008, and 2009 of $130,000, respectively. The revenue is reported the same for both GAAP and tax purposes. For simplification, assume the company reports one expense, depreciation, over the three years applying the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes (GAAP) and MACRS (IRS) for the tax return. What is the effect on the accounts of using the two different depreciation methods? LO 1 Identify differences between pretax financial income and taxable income.

  4. Example – Deferred Tax Liability • Assume that Sales Company recognizes $15,000 gross profit from installment sales for financial accounting in 2006. The gross profit will be taxable at $3,000 each year for the next five years. The company earns $10,000 additional income each year and the tax rate is 40%. The following schedule shows taxable income, income tax payable, financial income, and income tax expense for the five year period.
