Tax Computation

Annualization
Annualization is a process outlined in the Internal Revenue Code in the United States, where taxable income for part of a year is extended or 'annualized' to a full year by multiplying it by 12 and dividing by the number of months involved. This computation gives a standardized monthly income amount for tax-related purposes.
Notice of Deficiency
A Notice of Deficiency is a formal notice issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to a taxpayer, outlining the amount of additional tax owed and a summary of how the deficiency was calculated. This notice must be sent to the taxpayer's last known address to be legally valid.
Subchapter J
Subchapter J of the Internal Revenue Code concerns the taxation provisions related to estates, trusts, beneficiaries, and decedents. It outlines the rules and regulations for income distribution, fiduciary responsibilities, and tax computation for these entities.
Timing Difference
Timing differences arise when there are differences between the recognition of income and expenses for tax purposes and their recognition in financial statements. These discrepancies are temporary and typically reverse over subsequent periods.
