What form did Ledgers file to elect its income tax status?
Ledgers Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
For income tax purposes, the Company has elected to be taxed as a C Corporation by filing an Entity Classification Election (Form 8832). The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is established when management estimates that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future pretax earnings, the reversal of temporary differences between book and tax income, and the expected tax rates in future periods. The temporary difference relates to net operating losses. The deferred tax asset represents the future tax benefit of those differences.
