Accounting for Income Taxes ASC 740: OBBBA Implications, Business Combinations, Valuation Allowances

About the Course

Introduction

This course will analyze various components of accounting for income taxes that can be traps for the unwary, including specific business combination issues, valuation allowance assessments, tax internal controls, and implications of the recently enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) modifications.

Description

ASC 740 provides a methodology for recognizing current taxes payable and refundable and recording expected deferred tax obligations and refunds. Few areas of financial reporting are more complex. OBBBA, as well as updates made by ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, require accountants to take a fresh look at these complex areas and their implications for income tax provision calculations.

Listen as our panel of accounting experts provides practical advice and hands-on examples of calculations and the financial presentation of these continually revised tax provisions.
