Tyson Corporation reported pretax income from operations in Year 1 of 92,000 (the first year of operations). In Year 2, the corporation experienced a $96,000 NOL (pretax loss from operations). Management is confident the company will have taxable income in excess of $120,000 in Year 3. Assume an income tax rate of 25% in Year 1 and thereafter. Tyson has no other temporary differences.
Required
a. Provide the Year 1 and Year 2 income tax entries that Tyson should make.
Saginaw Incorporated completed its first year of operations with a pretax loss of $627,500. The tax return showed a net
operating loss of $756,500, which the company will carry forward. The $129,000 book-tax difference results from excess tax
depreciation over book depreciation. Management has determined that it should record a valuation allowance equal to the
net deferred tax asset. Assuming the current tax expense is zero, prepare the journal entries to record the deferred tax
provision and the valuation allowance. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required"
in the first account field.)

- Accounting for Tax Loss Carryforwards Tax Loss Carryforwards (TLCFs) are a tax accounting concept that allows businesses to offset future taxable income with previous years' net operating losses (NOLs). When a company incurs a net loss in a given tax year, it may carry that loss forward to offset future taxable income, reducing its tax liability. This mechanism provides businesses with a means to smooth out fluctuations in their taxable income and helps in optimizing tax positions. Key Points: Net Operating Loss (NOL): NOL occurs when a company's allowable deductions exceed its taxable income. This negative taxable income can be carried forward to offset future taxable income. Carryforward Period: The carryforward period for NOLs varies by jurisdiction but is typically limited to a certain number of years. Some jurisdictions allow indefinite carryforwards, while others have specific time constraints. Tax Planning Strategy: Companies strategically use TLCFs in tax…arrow_forwardSaginaw Inc. completed its first year of operations with a pretax loss of $647,500.
