    @want2pass thank you!! it's good to hear from someone that is a little further down the path than i am…

    for the becker lectures, when you're going through and taking notes, did it take you a lot longer than the general 4 hours to get through each lecture from stopping and taking notes? I'm worried I'm going through them too slowly because I pause at least 2x each page to write stuff down.

    FAR: 81
    AUD: 72, 71, 87 finally!
    BEC: 79

    F10 for Becker is ridiculously long. Is it just me or does it take everyone else a lot of time to get through it?

    Hi guyz

    need ur help regarding deferred tax

    bellow is example for deferred tax asset

    Black Co., organized on January 2, Year 1, had pretax accounting income of $500,000 and taxable income of $800,000 for the year ended December 31, Year 1. The enacted tax rate for all years is 30%. The only temporary difference is accrued product warranty costs which are expenses to be paid as follows: Year 2, $100,000; Year 3, $100,000; Year 4, $100,000

    now as per the book to record the tax exp and asset bellow are the journal entry

    Journal entry to record the Year 1 taxes:

    DR Deferred tax asset $ 90,000

    DR Income tax expense—current 240,000 ??

    CR Income tax payable $240,000

    CR Income tax benefit—deferred 90,000

    my question is current income tax exp should be 150,000 only (because this is the expense for the current year under GAAP) ?

    plz help me to understand

    @kpanna92 I definitely took longer than the 4 hours! If it was information I was already familiar with, I didn't need to pause as often or constantly reread. F2 and F10 definitely took me a while, I found them to be hard because of the amount of information in there.

    @RTCPA

    It may help thinking about where that journal entry is reported on the financial statements. The Deferred Tax Asset and the Income Taxes Payable are straight forward. Both are presented on the balance sheet and this entry serves as an increase to both accounts. The Income Tax Expense – Current and the Income Tax Benefit – Deferred will be netted against each other and reported on the income statement as one amount under provision for income taxes. In this case you would report 150,000 as Provision for income taxes on your income statement.

    B/S DTA = 90,000

    B/S Income Tax Payable = 240,000

    I/S Provision for Income taxes = 150,000

    Good luck Hunter! Looking at your prior scores I'd say you know what you're doing and you're ready to kill FAR.

    @ excel monkey, what about the income tax expense current account, should not show only the expense for the year i.e 150,000

    and the as per the book is

    Journal entry to record reversal of a portion of the deferred tax asset for warranty costs paid and deducted in Year 2.

    DR Income tax expense—deferred $30,000

    CR Deferred tax asset $30,000

    this is not double counting?

    thanks

    @RTCPA, the current income tax expense is the income tax that will be paid on current year taxable income. So it has to be based on current year taxable income. You don't pay income tax based on GAAP income. Thus the need for deferred tax assets or liabilities.

    @CTM

    the payment will be based on taxable income right, however the expense should not be based on GAAP, this is like accrual accounting

    im feeling totally lost and confused

    @RTCPA, what study material are you using? Maybe go back over a lecture or check out a youtube video on deferred tax assets/liabilities (I found a couple that were pretty helpful). This area can get confusing but once it sinks in you've got it for good and are guaranteed points on the exam should you come across any questions on the subject.
