Accounting for Income Taxes

Accounting for Income Taxes
Course number: AA772305
Accounting for income taxes is one of the more challenging topics of financial accounting. Corporations must file an income tax return following the guidelines developed by the IRS. Because GAAP and tax regulations differ in several ways, so frequently do pretax financial income and taxable income. Hence, the amount that a company reports as tax expense will differ from the amount of taxes payable to the IRS. Those differences produce a complex accounting standard. Tax-related restatement is one of the leading causes of financial restatements. This course is designed to help you navigate the complexities of income taxes. It identifies ASC 740 Income Taxes accounting and financial reporting requirements for the effects of taxes based on income. It describes the basic principles such as the asset and liability method, tax positions assessment, and the effect of temporary differences. It explains how to assess whether a valuation allowance is necessary for its deferred tax assets. It also covers key concepts such as asset acquisition, intraperiod allocations, and interim reporting related to income taxes. Finally, it addresses financial statement presentation and disclosure. Specific examples are included to illustrate the application. Relevant references to and excerpts from ASC 740 are discussed throughout the course. Course level: Basic. Prerequisites: None. Course includes integrated text and study guide, final exam and grading service.

Practice Before the IRS

Practice Before the IRS
Course number: ETH920501
This course is designed to meet the 2 hour CPE requirement for Enrolled Agents and Other Tax Return Preparers (OTRPs). Despite predictably frequent calls for simplifying the U.S. Tax Code and the 2017 passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), it becomes increasingly complex over time. At its more than 3% annual growth in size since 1945, it was projected to exceed 96,000 pages by the year 2020. Because of the enormity of the Code and its complexity, taxpayers often seek the assistance of knowledgeable professionals to represent them with respect to tax and other matters before the IRS. However, the ability to represent a client before the IRS is, with certain exceptions, extremely limited. This course will look at the important subject of client representation before the IRS. Practice Before the IRS addresses the nature of practice before the IRS, identifies those permitted to engage in such practice and examines the power of attorney under which a taxpayer authorizes another to engage in it on his or her behalf. Course level: Basic.
