I need help checking my work. Am I following it correctly or did I make mistakes? Thank you for your help
Problem:
The ET Mag Company of Benicia California has pretax financial income (Income Before Tax) at the end of December 2020 of $327,000.
There are 3 differences between the pretax financial statement and the tax return income as shown below:
3 items were different on the Financial Statement compared to Tax Return
Financial Statement Tax Return
a. Depreciation "S/L" $21,000 $42,000 "accelerated"
b. Percentage of Completion Profit $60,000 -0- completed contract
c. "Unearned" Revenue of $20,000 $ 5,000 earned this year
Required:
1. Prepare a handy schedule that shows the reconciliation between "F/S" and "T/R".
2. Complete the schedule to reflect:
a. Income Tax Expense
b. Income Tax Payable
c. Deferred Income Taxes
3. Prepare the December 31, 2020 year end adjusting entry to record income tax expense, income tax payable and any deferred income taxes.
Note: Tax Rate is 30%
Answer I got:
Financial statement
Income before tax: $327,000 x 30% (0.30) = $98,100 Income Tax Expense
Adjustments to arrive at T/R:
Depreciation S/L vs Accel. ($21,000) x 30% (.30) = ($6,300) Deferred Tax Liability
Percentage Completion vs
Completed contract ($35,000) x 30% (.30) = ($10,500) Deferred Tax Liability
Unearned revenue vs
Revenue earned $30,000 x 30% (.30) = $9,000 Deferred Tax Liability
Tax Return $301,000 x 30%(.30) = $90,300 Income tax payable
Journal entries end of Dec 2020
| Date | Accounts | Dr | Cr |
| Dec 31st | Income tax expense | $98,100 | |
| Deferred tax Asset | $9,000 | ||
| Deferred tax liability | $16,800 | ||
