The Bloomberg Tax Provision has been automated for full valuation allowance and an upload template for performing a payable true up report. The enhanced software is based on the Tax Prodigy Provision, acquired last year.
Also, users can now define an “issue” within their tax provision such as an IRS audit, an amended return or an error correction and track elements of the provision that are impacted by the issue including the impact on the rate reconciliation.
Bloomberg says the application addresses the entire range of complex technical topics of provisioning, including unrecognized tax benefits, quarterly annual effective tax rate calculations, and income tax payable.
