J-Matt, Inc., had pretax accounting income of $291,000 and taxable income of $300,000 in 2021. The only difference between accounting and taxable income is estimated product warranty costs of $9,000 for sales in 2021. Warranty payments are expected to be in equal amounts over the next three years (2022–2024) and will be tax deductible at that time. Recent tax legislation will change the tax rate from the current 25% to 20% in 2023. Determine the amounts necessary to record J-Matt’s income taxes for 2021 and prepare the appropriate journal entry.

No temporary differences existed at the beginning of the year, and the tax rate is 25%. Suppose the deferred portion of the rent collected was $76 million at the end of 2022.
