Frequently Asked Questions:
What is an uncertain tax position?
An uncertain tax position is a deduction, credit, or tax-exempt position a company takes that is unclear and might not be sustained if challenged by tax authorities upon audit. Because the outcome is uncertain, US GAAP has specific rules for whether and how much of the benefit can be recognized.
What is the two-step approach for uncertain tax positions?
The first step, recognition, asks whether it is more likely than not (greater than 50 percent) that the position will be sustained upon examination. If it passes, the second step, measurement, determines the largest amount of benefit with a cumulative probability greater than 50 percent of being realized.
How is an uncertain tax position recorded in the financial statements?
The company recognizes only the measured, sustainable portion of the tax benefit and records the difference between the amount claimed on the tax return and the recognized amount as a liability for the uncertain tax position. In the example, a company claiming a 21,000 benefit but able to sustain only 15,000 records a 6,000 liability.
When is the liability for an uncertain tax position removed?
The liability is removed when the position is audited and settled, when the statute of limitations expires, or when new laws, regulations, or court cases clarify the ambiguity so the position is no longer uncertain.
