Kent Land Management reported pretax income of $100 million in 2005, 2006 and 2007, plus additional 2005 income of $40 million from installment sales of
property.
The installment sales income is reported on the tax return when it is collected in 2006 ($10 million) and in
2007 ($30 million).
The enacted tax rate is 40% each year.2005 2006 2007 Total

Future Income Tax Liabilities
In this case there is no receivable for tax purposes since the installment is taken into taxable income when
received.
The carrying (book) value is reduced as the cash is received, which in turn reduces the temporary difference.

Valuation Allowances
Remember that a future deductible amount reduces taxable income and saves taxes
only if there is taxable income to be reduced when the future deduction is
available.
A valuation allowance is needed if taxable income is anticipated to be insufficient to
realize the tax benefit.

Valuation Allowances
The valuation allowance must be re-evaluated at the end of each accounting
period like all other allowances.

balance.

Net Operating Losses (NOL)
The general principle is that the tax benefits of losses should be recognized in
the period of the loss to the extent possible.
It is usually advantageous to carry back losses by filing an amended tax return to

NOL – Future Taxable Income Not Likely
Assume that Atlantic’s future is uncertain and that there is insufficient evidence about the possibility of future taxable
income to recognize the income tax asset and benefit related to the $125 million of

In this case there would not be any income tax entry for 2005.
