General Information

Here are some points to consider before selecting data entry fields:
  • There are two types of Permanent Differences:
    Equity Adjustments
    and
    P&L Adjustments
    . When you
    Add
    and
    Import
    entries, use the appropriate type to achieve the desired provision effect.
  • Permanent Difference - Book/Tax Basis lets you enter different book and tax amortizable basis and amortization periods. The resulting permanent difference between the basis is automatically computed. The remaining balance of the basis and periods rolls over to future datasets when you roll over the dataset.
  • To use the same

    combination for each line.
