Zekany Corporation would have had identical income before taxes on both its income tax returns and income statements for the years 2021 through 2024 except for differences in depreciation on an operational asset.

2021 $ 72,600  
2022   96,800  
2023   33,000

Accounting income before taxes and depreciation $120,000 140,000 130,000 130,000


Assume the income tax rate for 2021 and 2022 was 30%; however, during 2022, tax legislation was passed to raise the tax rate to 40% beginning in 2023. The 40% rate remained in effect through the years 2023 and 2024. Both the accounting and income tax periods end December 31.

Prepare the journal entries to record income taxes for the years 2021 through 2024. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
