I see that prepaid income is a temporary difference with the payment included in taxable income but not GAAP income. Does it work vice versa for accrued GAAP income at year end which isn’t paid yet? Would this need to be removed taxable income? Finally, how does the AFS inclusion rule apply?
I wonder why GAAP is not in line with the IRS when it comes to income reporting , deductions ect. This would negate all of this I think unnecessary accounting. Really enjoy your videos though. As an accounting student its helping me out tremendously.
Sure, but the government wants you to fill out this junk form even if you keep books in tax form rather than GAAP. Really burns non-public corporations who generally don’t bother with GAAP.
