The impact of the rate difference can be viewed in the Effective Tax Rate report.If the Beginning Deferred Rate and Ending Deferred Rate differ for a unit, the system automatically calculates any necessary change in rate adjustment on beginning temporary difference balances. Support for the calculated adjustment appears in a separate column within the Deferred Balances report. |
