Financial Amounts

  • If an 8975 Schedule A mapping chart's assigned to the binder, the U.S. dollar after book adjustment amounts in accounts that are cross referenced to the following 8975 tax return lines get transferred to the workpaper:
    • 1a - Revenues - Unrelated Party

    • 4 - Income Tax Accrued - Current Year

    • 6 - Accumulated Earnings
    • 8 - Tangible Assets Other than Cash and Cash Equivalents
  • Amounts get pulled from the US Dollar Book Balances Override Workpaper is you select Use US Dollar Book Balances Override. Otherwise, amounts in the Adjusted Book Balance column of the U.S. dollar Working Trial Balance get transferred to the Financial Amounts section of the workpaper.
  • Only accounts with balances get displayed in the workpaper.
    note
    The financial amounts transferred to a divisional consolidation's Form 8975 Schedule A Workpaper aren't reduced for member divisions that may also be reported separately on the form. To override the values from TAS, enter overrides in the
    Final Form Data
    column of the workpaper. TAS amounts won't be transferred to the Form 8975 Schedule A Workpaper if different federal charts get used within the members of a divisional consolidation.

Overriding values transferred from TAS Compute

TAS information gets presented in the From TAS Compute column for reference and evaluation. The Final Form Data column mirrors the values from TAS or display user overrides, and carry to the Form 8975 Schedule A Workpaper in the related Top Consolidation binders.
tip
Apart from the
Financial Amounts
section, we recommend adjusting the source information in the entity and binder properties rather than entering overrides in the Form 8975 Schedule A Workpaper.
