Zekany Corporation would have had identical income before taxes on both its income tax returns and income statements for the years 2018 through 2021 except for differences in depreciation on an operational asset. The asset cost $100,000 and is depreciated for income tax purposes in the following amounts:

2018 $ 33,000
2019 44,000
2020 15,000
2021 8,000

  
The operational asset has a four-year life and no residual value. The straight-line method is used for financial reporting purposes.
  
Income amounts before depreciation expense and income taxes for each of the four years were as follows.
   

2018 2019 2020 2021
Accounting income before taxes and depreciation $ 65,000 $ 85,000 $ 75,000 $ 75,000

  
Assume the average and marginal income tax rate for 2018 and 2019 was 30%; however, during 2019 tax legislation was passed to raise the tax rate to 40% beginning in 2020. The 40% rate remained in effect through the years 2020 and 2021. Both the accounting and income tax periods end December 31.
   
Required:
Prepare the journal entries to record income taxes for the years 2018 through 2021. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
