The pretax financial income of Truttman Company differs from its taxable income throughout each of 4 years as follows. Pretax Taxable Year Financial Income Income Tax Rate 2017 \(290,000 \)180,000 35% 2018 320,000 225,000 40 2019 350,000 260,000 40 2020 420,000 560,000 40

Pretax financial income for each year includes a nondeductible expense of $30,000 (never deductible for tax purposes). The remainder of the difference between pretax financial income and taxable income in each period is due to one depreciation temporary difference. No deferred income taxes existed at the beginning of 2017. Instructions (a) Prepare journal entries to record income taxes in all 4 years. Assume that the change in the tax rate to 40% was not enacted until the beginning of 2018. (b) Prepare the income statement for 2018, beginning with Income before income taxes.
