NOL Temporary Differences - Tax Basis

In the
DATA ENTRY
list, you select the
NOL Temp Diffs - Tax Basis
component to enter federal and jurisdiction data.

General Information

Here are some points to consider before selecting data entry fields:
The
Activity
,
Deferred
, and
Balance Sheet Only
column amounts impact the tax provision differently.
  • Each NOL temporary difference line defaults to being tax effected using the unit rate. The beginning and ending unit rate can be overridden on a line-by-line basis. If only the beginning or ending rate is overridden, you must populate the fields. If a field is not populated, it defaults to a zero rate.
  • The NOL temporary difference can be automated to take the Automation Policies net operating loss impact.
  • Tax Basis Temporary Difference pages let you to enter amounts as purely tax balances, with or without book or net of book.
  • To use the same
    Code - Description
    for multiple line entries, you must use a different
    Tag
    letter or
    Class/Subclass
    combination for each line.
  • For a list of the required template worksheets see Data Entry Components, #UNOLTD# Unit NOL TDs-Tax Basis. To use default unit rates, enter U in the rate columns when importing
The following information is not applicable for the
Interim Forecast
, and
Estimated Payments
datasets.
  • Two tabs are available:
    DETAIL
    and
    ROLLFORWARD
    . You can add and edit data in both sections.
  • Administrators use Dataset Parameters Reference to control the information in this page. The DEFAULT_TD_TAB controls which tab(s) you see, and RESTRICT_TD_TABS controls who can enter data within the tab(s).
  • The system computes the Tax-Book Difference using the book and tax amounts in the
    DETAIL
    tab. This information flows to the
    ROLLFORWARD
    tab.

Beginning Balance
The cumulative after tax temporary difference balance rolls forward from the prior Dataset Types. The beginning balance can be overridden manually or with an import.

Beginning Balance
The cumulative temporary difference balance rolls forward from the prior dataset. You can replace the beginning balance with a manual entry or by importing. The administrator has the ability to lock beginning balances preventing "Read/Write" users from entering data into the Begin Bal column.
Activity
  • Activity impacts the current and deferred provision, as well as deferred balances.
  • Positive amounts increase and negative amounts reduce the taxable income.
  • Amounts are entered in local currency and translated to the reporting currency using the unit's weighted average FX rate.
