Verify Income Tax Has Been Booked

Use this section if your Market Center is profitable and past the break-even point (Retained Earnings and Current Year Profit [Loss] accounts added together equals a debit balance). Verify your Market Center’s profitability for the current month by checking your Standard Profit and Loss Report. The tax adjustment adjusts the amount of Owner Profit that the market center will profit share on so that the Owners are paying profit share on an “after tax” profit amount.

If the Market Center is a corporation that pays taxes directly to the government, the entry will be a Debit to Income Tax Expense (above the line) and a Credit to a Tax Payable account.

If the Market Center is an entity where the income flows to the owners and they pay the tax on that income (ex: LLC, Partnership), the entry will be a Debit to Income Tax Expense (above the line) and a Credit to Reverse Income Tax (below the line).
