At the end of 2018, Smith Corporation had no book-tax differences and no deferred income tax assets
Question:
At the end of 2018, Smith Corporation had no book-tax differences and no deferred income tax assets or deferred income tax liabilities.
During the year 2019, two book-tax differences occurred. One was a $10,000 permanent difference that caused taxable income to be larger than financial income. The other was a $110,000 temporary difference that caused taxable income to be smaller than financial income. That $110,000 temporary difference will reverse over the years 2020 and 2021, causing future taxable amounts of $40,000 and $70,000 in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Smiths pretax financial income for 2019 was $260,000. Smiths tax rate in 2019 is 35%, but starting in 2020 the tax rate will fall to 26%.
(a.) Prepare schedule that reconciles pretax financial income to taxable income for 2019
