ABSTRACT: We examine the pricing of realized tax benefits from net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards across income statement presentations. During the period 1987 through 1992, firms adopting SFAS No. 96 reported these tax benefits as part of income before extraordinary items (via a reduced provision for income tax expense), while non-adopting firms reported these benefits as extraordinary income items under APB No. 11. We provide evidence that NOL tax benefits were priced rationally when reported as extraordinary income items under APB No. 11; however, NOL tax benefits were overpriced, relative to their one-year-ahead persistence, when included in income before extraordinary items under SFAS No. 96. Our results suggest that the rational pricing of income tax information is affected by its presentation in the income statement, despite the clear reporting of sufficient additional details in the footnotes. Our findings provide support for the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s tentative decision to report income taxes in a separate section of the income statement.

Abstract: Using a multi-year matched tax return-financial statement data set, this study builds empirical models that infer U.S. tax liability on the corporate tax return from publicly available financial statement disclosures, including those of Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Results show that current U.S. tax expense, the tax benefit from stock options, current-year tax cushion accrual, consolidation book-tax differences, and R&D are informative in inferring actual tax, while intraperiod tax allocation is not. Additionally, the sign of pretax book income and the existence of net operating loss carryforwards are useful partitioning variables in estimating actual tax. In general, for every dollar of current U.S. tax expense reported on the financial statements, approximately $0.70 is reported in U.S. tax liability on the tax return. The models are validated using a holdout sample, providing support for the notion that public parties can reliably use these results to estimate a firm's tax position. Additional tests reveal a hierarchy of subsamples that researchers may employ when maximizing the usefulness of tax-related disclosures in inferring U.S. tax liability.

We analyze a sample of firms accused of fraudulently overstating their earnings and examine the extent, if any, to which they paid additional income taxes on the allegedly fraudulent earnings. Based on restatements of current tax expense adjusted for the tax benefits of stock options, the evidence indicates that many firms included the overstated financial accounting income on their tax returns, thus overpaying their taxes in the process of inflating their accounting earnings. We estimate that the median firm sacrificed eight cents in additional income taxes per dollar of inflated pretax earnings. In aggregate, we estimate that the firms in our sample paid $320 million in taxes on overstated earnings of about $3.36 billion. These results indicate how far managers of firms are willing to go when allegedly inflating earnings.

ABSTRACT Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48, FASB 2006) allows discretion regarding the income statement classification of interest and penalty expenses for unrecognized tax benefits (UTBs). We investigate whether tax avoidance, management compensation, and debt agreements affect the expense classification election and whether this discretion has implications for financial statement users. We find firms that engage in tax avoidance activities, measured by effective tax rates (ETRs) and involvement in tax disputes, are more likely to include interest and penalties in tax expense. We also find that interest and penalties are more likely to be classified as tax expense when CEO compensation is more sensitive to pre-tax income. Finally, we find that UTB interest and penalty expense classification is associated with analysts' ETR forecast accuracy, which suggests there is a potential unintended consequence related to decision usefulness of FIN 48 reporting due to expense classification discretion.

In the 1990s, the financial press has frequently announced corporate spin-offs and split-offs. Financial accounting textbooks, though, contain little or no coverage of spin-offs, split-offs and other types of divestitures. This paper discusses the reasons for divestitures, identifies four types of divestitures, describes the characteristics and common conditions associated with each type, reviews the accounting standards and federal income tax rules and regulations pertaining to each type, illustrates the application of the accounting standards for each type and discusses the potential impact of these accounting standards and tax rules and regulations on a corporation's choice of one type of divestiture over another. As such, this paper may be used as a supplement in an upper-division financial accounting course.

This paper views deferred income taxes as a summary measurement correction that adjusts the various income statement items to an aggregate net-of-tax valuation. Further, the author observes that the tax effects of revenue timing differences are conceptually distinct from the tax effects of expense timing differences and concludes that the FASB should adopt a combination method of comprehensive interperiod allocation.
