"Accounting for Income Taxes and Losses"
· A deferred tax asset exists when there is an increase in future tax refunds as a result of deductible temporary differences at the end of the current period. A deferred tax liability in comparison is the result of a taxable temporary difference for the current period that is payable in future years.  Imagine you are the controller of a growth company with deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The chief financial officer has requested justification for establishing a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets. The deferred tax asset account primarily results from accumulated net operating losses, bad debts, and warranties. The company also has deferred tax liabilities resulting from depreciation. The company is expecting to become profitable in the next year. What factors should the company consider in determining the need for a valuation allowance? Create an argument for or against a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets. Provide examples to support your recommendation.Â
