This element represents the tax benefit associated with any equity-based compensation plan other than an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) as well as other compensation not separately specify. The tax benefit results from the deduction by the entity on its tax return for an award of stock that exceeds the cumulative compensation cost for common stock or preferred stock recognized for financial reporting. Includes any resulting tax benefit that exceeds the previously recognized deferred tax asset (excess tax benefits).
