Tox Effects
Income Tax Effectsfu mentioned earlier, the income ta-r effects are not reported with the above correctingentries in order to make it easier for you to focus on the effects of the errors themselves.Once you understand the correcting entries, it is easier to add the income tax effects, as wewill do now.
If a correction increases a previous year's income (either by an increase in revenueor a decrease in expense), the income ta-r expense for that period will usually be increased:more income, more tax. Ifthe correction reduces a previous year's income (either by a
decrease in revenue or an increase in expense), the income tax expense for that period willusually be reduced: less income, less tax. The net correction to retained earnings, there-fore, is made net oftax. Note that for counterbalancing errors, the income tax effects alsooffset each other over the two-year period, assuming tax rates have not changed.
Because the tax return for the previous period has already bcen filed, most adjust-ments of the previous year's income affects Income Jlx Payable. The Deferred Ta-x Asset/Liability account is affected only when the treatment for income taxes in the previous yearis a permitted tax treatment. Examples include the depreciation and bad debt non-coun-terbalancing error situations below. In both these cases, taxable income was correcr as itwas calculated in the prior year, but now the amount of the related temporary differencehas changed.
