Corporations: Differences Between Book and Tax Income
Corporations often report different amounts of income for financial accounting purposes (book income) and for tax reporting (tax income) due to variances in accounting methods, timing of income recognition, and allowable deductions. These differences stem from the distinct objectives of financial reporting, which focuses on providing information to investors and creditors, and tax accounting, which is governed by tax laws aimed at calculating taxable income.
