Problem 6 [UTB] ABC's tax accounting methods and GAAP accounting methods are the same. ABC reported pretax income of $120,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Embedded in the pretax income is $50,000 of interest revenue on a bond. There is some uncertainty as to whether the interest on the bond is subject to federal income taxation. ABC believes that there is an argument that the interest revenue can be deemed to have been paid by a state or local government and hence is not subject to federal income taxation (i.e., the interest is tax-exempt). After consulting with legal counsel, ABC has decided to take the position that the interest revenue has been paid by a state or local government and accordingly, prepared its corporate tax return excluding the $50,000 of interest revenue. There are no other permanent differences other than the $50,000 of 'tax-exempt interest revenue. The corporate tax rate is 21%. Required 1.
