Deferred Tax Assets

Deferred tax assets (DTAs) are balance sheet assets that arise from deductible temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards, or tax credits that reduce future taxes; they are recognized to the extent it is more likely than not that the benefits will be realized.

Example: A company with sizable tax-loss carryforwards records a deferred tax asset to reflect the expected reduction in taxes when future profits are earned.
