Question Do you know why the net change in deferred tax assets for the current year would be different from the deferred tax provision for the same year for a business?
Answer I am not an expert on deferred taxes, but the deferred tax calculation is based on many assumptions. If those assumptions change and affect deferrals from prior years, the amount of change related to prior years would not affect the current year provision.
