Table (1)
December 31, 2016: To record the income tax refund from operating loss carryback:
- Income tax refund receivable is asset and it is increased. Thus, it is debited.
- Income Tax Benefit from Operating Carry Forward is a component of
stockholders’ equity and increases, so credit it for $33,150.
December 31, 2016: To record deferred tax asset for carry forwarding operating loss:
- Deferred Tax Asset is an asset and increases, so debit it for $4,500.
- Income Tax Benefit from Operating Carry Forward is a component of stockholders’ equity and increases, so credit it for $4,500.
December 31, 2016: To record the creation of valuation allowance for deferred asset:
- Income Tax Benefit from Operating Loss Carry forward is a component of stockholders’ equity and decreased, so debit it for $4,500.
- Allowance to reduce deferred tax asset to realizable value is a contra asset and decreased, so credit it for $4,500.
