Tax Return Mappings

Use the Tax Basis/Return Mapping lines to map book/tax differences to the Tax Basis Balance Sheet, the Tax Basis Balance Sheet-Income Statement, and the tax return compliance software. Set up your accounts in Manage Trial Balance to create a Tax Basis Balance Sheet. Then, modify existing Tax Basis/Return mappings as needed.
In
My Datasets > More > Tax Basis Mapping
, use Tax Basis Mapping to perform dataset-level mapping. You define the mapping for the Tax Basis Balance Sheet in a Provision dataset. The temporary differences are layered onto the Trial Balance Sublines. The Difference drop-down list shows the Permanent and Temporary Differences in Administration. The Debit and Credit columns show the Trial Balance Sublines created in Manage Trial Balance.
At the Dataset level, you are required to designate two sub-line accounts vs. one at the Administration area. Therefore, you must complete the following conversion if the mappings were set up in administration for Manage Trial Balance Mappings.
  1. Export the dataset.
  2. Copy the data from the #MBAL# Map Balance sheet to the #TBM# Tax Basis Mapping sheet in the Import Numbers template.
  3. Add the required data to the #TBM# Tax Basis Mapping sheet.
  4. Save and import the #TBM# Tax Basis Mapping sheet.
