Explanation:
“Return” bezieht sich auf Income Tax „Return“
“Provision to Return Differences
It is important for companies to analyze provision to return (PTR) differences. Since the income tax provision is an estimate, differences often exist when comparing the taxes reported in subsequently filed tax returns. Companies should account for these differences when preparing the following year’s income tax provision. The goal should be to minimize the needed PTR adjustment. Given a large enough adjustment, the question arises whether a financial statement restatement is needed.”
