Allen, re deferred costs

Deferred costs are liabilities, whether they be for taxes or other items owed. What's being deferred is the accounting recognition on the income statement for the obligation. For taxes, the liability is accrued on the balance sheet to show the difference between the accounting books and the tax books. The tax books show less taxable income than the accounting books. The amount deferred is the tax on the difference in taxable income. This is only a timing difference as the tax will have to be paid eventually. Hence the liability booked.
