Assume that Puritan Corp. operates in an industry for which NOL carryback is allowed. Puritan Corp. reported the following pretax accounting income and taxable income for its first three years of operations: 2020 $ 358,000 2021 (600,000 ) 2022 728,000 Puritan's tax rate is 36% for all years. Puritan elected a loss carryback. As of December 31, 2021. Puritan was certain that it would recover the full tax benefit of the NOL that remained after the operating loss carryback. What did Puritan report on December 31, 2021, as the deferred tax asset for the NOL carryforward

Respuesta :

Answer:

$87,120

Explanation:

The calculation of the deferred tax asset for the NOL carryforward is given below:

= (Year 2021 loss - Year 2022 income) × tax rate applicable for all years

= ($600,000 - $358,000) × 36%

= $242,000 × 36%

= $87,120

Since in a year 2021 it is a loss and the income in year 2022 that is to be adjusted and the same is considered in the computation part

Hence,  the deferred tax assets for the NOL carryforward is $87,120
