 list, you select the

 component to enter federal and jurisdiction data.

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
    Code - Description
     for multiple line entries, you must use a different
    Tag
     letter or
    Class/Subclass
     combination for each line.
  • The Permanent Difference - Book/Tax Basis component is not available in interim datasets.
