Lost tax calculations
Article Abstract:
Earnings and profits (E&P) studies and tax balance sheets are useful accounting tools that are often overlooked by businesses. E&P studies allow companies to determine if their cash distributions to stockholders are taxable. E&P calculations involve determining taxable income and deducting items that are deductible for E&P calculations, but not federal income taxes. Additionally, E&P calculations involve determining if the final distribution is taxable. Tax balance sheets are useful because they show current and past differences between tax returns and the financial books, and compute their tax consequences. Tax balance sheets are also required under the Federal Accounting Standard 96 'Accounting for Income Taxes'.
