Answer #1

Answer-------------False.

.

The accounting for financial statements in the US is governed by either GAAP or IFRS (International financial reporting standards). The accounting done for tax purpose by the government is different from that of GAAP.

The difference in income as per GAAP and tax purpose is different which is the reason we have Deferred Tax liability and differed tax assets in the accounts.

The IRS is responsible for accounting for tax purpose.
