Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effect of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets or liabilities
and the reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent according to the classification of
the related assets or liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities not related to assets or liabilities are classified according to the expected reversal date of the
temporary differences. Consistent with rate making treatment, deferred taxes are offset in the table below for temporary differences which have related
regulatory assets and liabilities.
