Assume that an entity’s California tax after prior year provision to return true-ups is $500,000. If the California regular tax is $1,000,000 and its income tax expense is $125,000, then which of the following identifies the total current state tax expense?
A. $375,000
B. $625,000
C. $1,000,000
D. $1,125,000
Ans:
As per income tax rules :
Total current state tax expense will be calculated as follows;
Regular tax : $1,000,000
Income Tax expense : $125,000
Prior year provision to return true-ups : $500,000
So total current state tax expense will be : Regular tax + Income Tax expense - Prior year provisions:
= $1,000,000 + $125,000 - $500,000 = $625,000
So correct answer is option B.
