Uncertainty in Income Taxes Answer Book
This new guide from CCH clears up any confusion about income taxes
FIN 48, which went into effect in 2006, was arguably the biggest change to hit corporate America since Sarbanes-Oxley reform — and it has created plenty of anxiety for accounting professionals since its adoption. But now practitioners attempting GAAP compliance can turn to the Uncertainty in Income Taxes Answer Book to find quick and authoritative answers to questions about the implementation of standards under ASC Topics 740, 805 and 835.
With simple, straightforward language, the book provides thorough guidance on consistent accounting practices and criteria for enterprises reporting tax benefits from uncertain tax positions. The question-and-answer format cuts through complexity and tackles just about every angle of implementing and applying the recodified FIN 48.
The book also includes several appendices with easy-to-use practice aids (for example, Client Evaluation Forms, Implementation Action Plans); lessons and best practices from leading practitioners in the field; and supporting SEC FIN 48-related sample fillings and disclosure documents.
