Schedules M-1 and M-3 reconcile book income to taxable income reported on the return. Corporations with $50 million or more of assets are required to file the more complex Schedule M-3. This course covers Part I of Schedule M-3 including filing and disclosure requirements.
Since the purpose of Schedule M-3 is to provide detailed information on book-tax differences, it is important to determine the financial information disclosure requirements, including the determination of “book” income versus “taxable Income.”
A comprehensive example of Schedule M-3, Part I is provided to reinforce your knowledge of the reporting and tax compliance process.
This course covers the Schedule M-3, Part I filing and reporting requirements, including:
- Which corporations are required to complete Schedule M-3
- which corporations are exempt from the reporting requirement
- which corporations may file Schedule M-1 instead
- What disclosures are required regarding the accounting method used to determine financial income.
- How to compute the net income (loss) from the income statement used to reconcile book income to taxable income.
