Updating acquisitions information

If your company had any acquisitions in the previous year, you can manually input the gross and net amounts and the system does not calculate the deferred taxes. Any rate changes that result from acquisition information are calculated by the system.

Acquisitions input app (NA0303)

Use this input app to manually input any temporary differences, net operating losses, credits, and so on, for any acquisitions.

The following is a summary of the standard Longview purchase accounting process:

• The system allows for multiple purchases during a year.
• For each period, there is an acquisition input app that allows you to input the following values for each temporary difference, carryforward, credit and valuation allowance for a company acquired in the current period.

This input app contains the following symbols in the Elements dimension (across):

CURNONCUR—Current or Non-Current

This column identifies the temporary differences as current or non-current.

GrsAcqCur_ASC—Acquisitions Gross

This column represents the gross amount for the temporary difference at the date of acquisition for the national temporary differences. You must enter values for this symbol manually.

NetNAcqCur_ASC_Input—Acquisitions Net

This column represents the deferred tax amount for the national temporary differences. You must enter values for this symbol manually.

NetNRCAcqC_ASC_Input—Deferred Tax Impact - Change in Tax Rates ACQ CUR

This column represents the adjustment to the national deferred tax expense due to tax rate differences between the acquired tax assets and liabilities and the acquiring entity’s tax rate. It is common for the tax rate of the acquired company to be different than the acquirer, which therefore requires an adjustment to the national deferred tax expense. You must enter values for this symbol manually.
