2 CPE ASC 740, Income Taxes, addresses how companies should account for and report the
effects of taxes based on income. Unique characteristics of different tax jurisdictions
across the United States can make it difficult to determine whether a particular tax is
based on income. The existing guidance related to accounting for income taxes under
ASC 740 did not change as a result of the passage of the Tax Jobs and Cuts Act.
ASC 740 establishes standards of financial reporting for currently payable income
taxes as well as deferred income taxes payable at some point in the future. The requirements of ASC 740 can significantly impact how a company reports its current and
future income tax expense or benefit on the income statement, as well as how deferred
tax assets or liabilities are reported on the balance sheet.
This course focuses on what would constitute a tax based on income. We
discuss the applicability of ASC 740 to various types of entities including how to define
a tax based on income, temporary vs. permanent tax differences and the basic
objectives and principles of ASC 740.

This is a very high level course on the subject matter. I wish to learn more on this topic and will take the additional courses that the instructor mentioned. The subject matter is very important and anyone who works in corporate accounting will tell you that getting some understanding will be beneficial especially working for an organization that has a large number of installment sales. Thank you

The course teaches hard and useful concepts for people without basic knowledge. I think having the slide notes could be improved with more pictures, illustrations and highlighting the notes where it is important for people to remember in mnemonic. This way it will help people to capture the big picture of the hard concepts that it is trying to convey.

I always enjoy Lynn's courses, she delivers content in a straight-forward manner and includes examples to reiterate key learnings! Great supporting materials also provided in this course. My knowledge of ASC 740 was minimal prior to taking this course; however, I now have a general understanding of the key concepts.

I'm not sure this really works as a "technical" only overview. My preference would have been to blend the technical material here with the practical application topics to re-enforce the technical. May result in one long course but easier to retain and digest the material.

There are two primary methods of accounting— cash method and accrual method. The alternative bookkeeping method is a modified accrual method, which is a combination of the two primary methods.

I liked the details explained regarding ASC 740 in the lecture and how they were all condensed into a little over an hour lecture - could use some more balance sheet examples though.

Great overview of DTA' and DTL's. Good examples given, and I like that Lynn tells us
how/where to look up more detail directly from FASB if needed.

Good course overall. A few of the exam questions were worded oddly and there may have been a few mistakes/tricks in the wording.

Excellent summary of ASC 740, including on some of the more technical and less well generally understand areas of the standard.
