Managing Excess Deferred Income Taxes

To manage the complex tax and regulatory accounting requirements related to excess deferred income taxes, utilities must have an accurate and efficient system in place to track and analyze deferred tax balances and regulatory assets and liabilities. These systems must ensure they are complying with regulatory requirements and that their deferred tax balances are being reported correctly. In addition, utilities must ensure that they are forecasting correctly so they can plan ahead and make informed decisions about the reversal of excess balances.
