General Information

Here are some points to consider before selecting data entry fields:
  • There are two types of Tax Adjustments, depending on the code,
    Cash
    and
    Non-Cash
    . Non-Cash Tax Adjustments have a code that begins with NC_. The cash provision is the amount of current tax liability that is expected to be represented on the tax return. The non-cash provision is any current taxes that should be accrued for prior years or for amounts that are not represented on the tax return. The Cash and Non-Cash are segregated on separate lines of the Tax Provision report.

    combination for each line.
