I am calculating DTA and need to know what effective
Deferred Tax Asset/Liability with an NOL
Answers
If you have a net DTA due to the loss position, the tax rate is likely to be a less significant issue because you will probably record a valuation allowance against the DTA resulting in no net asset on the books. The rate you should use to record the gross asset (before VA) should be the federal and state (net of federal benefit) tax rate that is expected to apply (under current law) in the future periods in which the deferred balances are expected to reverse. This is an inexact exercise and of course materiality will dictate how precise you need to be. Hope this is helpful.
