Answer:
Explanation:
Because land never depreciates, Western Bank & Trust wanted to distribute a higher percentage of the purchase price to the building, rather than the land. By allocating 90% of the purchase price to the building, rather than a more accurate 70%, Western Bank & Trust increases the depreciation amount of the building each year. For tax purposes, the IRS requires that the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) be used as the depreciation method used by companies. Under this method, the IRS specifies the useful life for a specific asset. MACRS also ignores residual value of an asset at the end of its useful life. By stating that the building was worth 90% of the total purchase price, Western Bank is attempting to increase its tax deduction from the IRS, because only the building depreciates, not the land. This improper allocation of the total purchase amount violates GAAP principles, which require that accounting information be “relevant and have faithful representation.” The information must be “complete, neutral, and free from error” (Nobles, Mattison, & Matsumura, 2014). For Western Bank to provide complete, neutral, and free from error information, it should record the transaction honestly: 70% to the building, 30% to the land. This dishonest representation is harmful to the federal government in that it is allowing Western Bank to take more money than what it is owed. If these kinds of situations happen on a large scale, it could have a huge impact on the economy in general. Source: Nobles, T., Mattison, B., & Matsumura, E. M. (2014).

Answer:
The refund claimed should be shown as a benefit due to loss carryback in 2018.
Explanation:
Since Tanner, Inc. incurred a financial and taxable loss for 2018. and decided to use the carryback provisions as it had been profitable up to this year, the amounts related to the carryback should be reported in the 2018 financial statements as a benefit due.
Tax loss carryback is when a corporation <u>retrospectively adjusts its tax returns for prior periods</u> if it incurs a net operating loss (NOL) in current period.
The loss carryback <u>generates a tax refund</u> for the business because it reduces previous year tax liability. After the carried back loss is applied, it will be <u>as though the business overpaid taxes the previous year; which will now be shown as a benefit in the current year</u>
