book income is different from tax income. heres an example
Book income
add: 1/2 meals and entertainment expense
add: book depreciation
subtract: tax depreciation
subtract: tax exempt income
equals Taxable Income
This is done on the Form 1120 M-1. Check out the instructions to the Form 1120. I’ve included a direct link to the specific section of the instructions below.
