Tax Accounting Methods
Tax accounting methods relate to the timing of including an income or expense item.
Is your Company using the most advantageous tax accounting methods? Is your Company using proper tax accounting methods?
A thorough review of your accounting methods can reveal sound opportunities to defer the recognition of revenue or accelerate deductions, and ensure that your accounting methods are proper. By taking steps to correct improper tax accounting methods, you may be able to obtain “audit protection” for prior years in the event of an IRS examination or eliminate the need for tax reserves related to “uncertain tax positions” (formerly FIN 48).
