Accounting

Bonus' statutory tax rates are 21 percent federal and an average state rate of 5 percent. Federal income taxes are not deductible in any of the states in which Bonus operates, but state income taxes are a proper federal tax deduction. Because of the deductibility of state taxes for federal, the combined tax rate paid by Bonus is 24.95%.(5% state rate +(1-0.05)**21% federal rate =24.95%). All of the states with which Bonus files income tax returns define taxable income in the same way. Using estimated payments, Bonus pays in full its federal and state income tax liabilities in the book and tax year in which net income occurs.
Bonus has no foreign-source income or deductions. No tax rate changes have been enacted that will apply in future years. Bonus does not record a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in the current reporting period.
Bonus holds only one carryforward to this tax year, for a state and federal NOL. Every year, there also is an amount for book cost of goods sold that are added to the UNICAP balance.
