Our first step is to Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets:

• Identification of future tax benefits from differing taxable and financial incomes.

• Recognition based on probable future profitability.

• Assessment of the likelihood of realizing these assets.

• Linking to deductible temporary differences.

 Multiply the temporary difference by the tax rate. If it's a deferred tax asset, it's a credit; if it's a deferred tax liability, it's a debit.

For Example, if a temporary difference is 10,000 and the tax rate is 20%, the deferred tax asset or liability would be 2,000 (10,000 * 20%).
