Completing The National Actual Tax Process

The Tax Provision national actual process allows you to prepare a full tax provision based on year-to-date numbers.

Before you begin your annual tax provision process, Tax Provision automates the population of pre-tax income from the income statement of the entity. The Tax Administrator imports the chart of accounts data, which includes pre-tax income by legal entity. The chart of accounts data is used to transfer the entity’s pre-tax income to the Current Provision input app and report in the source currency. Tax Provision then uses the imported chart of accounts data to automate the permanent and temporary differences by legal entity.

Note: If an owner of a partnership is locked for input, the partnership calculations will fail if changes are submitted to the partnership entity. You can correct this by running the failed partnership calculations for the partnership entity from the Tax Calculations interface once the lock on the owner is released.

The following table outlines the ASC 740 National Actual tax process in Tax Provision:
