During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.

 

The amendments in this ASU provide that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward.

 

To the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle ant additional income taxes that would result from disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets.

 

Effective: For fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013 for public entities.  The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date.  Retrospective application is also permitted.
