What the Tax Provision Is
- The income tax provision is the total income tax expense reported on your GAAP income statement each period.
- It combines current tax owed for the period with deferred tax from timing differences between books and tax.
- ASC 740 governs how companies measure and disclose income taxes in financial statements prepared under US GAAP.
- The provision is a book concept and differs from the cash taxes you actually pay on your tax return.
