Current Provision
The Current Provision (CurrentTaxExpense) account hierarchy structure contains all tax Parent accounts to be used for Current Provision calculations. The accounts for total Permanent Differences and Temporary Differences are included in the structure, as well as the total Tax Credits accounts and additional Current Provision accounts. You should include applicable tax accounts (for example, permanent, temporary differences) as required.
The account hierarchy structure setup for Current Provision below is system-defined. You can replace parents of base permanent and temporary difference accounts, but not the ultimate parent for that section, such as GAAP to Stat (for example, PermGSTotal), or Stat to Tax
For example, parent account PermGSTotal (Total Permanent Differences GAAP to Stat) consists of individual Permanent Difference account entries. Three Permanent Difference detail accounts (*) are included as part of the sample tax application as examples.

You should replace these accounts with your specific Permanent Difference accounts. You can add Permanent Difference account entries to the account structure. See Adding a Permanent Difference (GS or ST) or a Regional Account.
