Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on
differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for income tax purposes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
We establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets when we believe it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realizable for tax purposes.
We recognize interest and penalty expense related to unrecognized tax benefits in our provision for income tax expense.
