Taxable income is computed by starting with gross income, deleting excluded income and exemptions, and subtracting allowable deductions.
In determining what items of income and deductions should be taken into account for any taxable year, the taxpayer’s method of accounting must be taken into account. For almost all individuals, that method is the cash receipts and disbursement method. In other words, income has to be received and deductions have to be spent. Some business activities can use other methods of accounting, and if you think that might apply to you, consult with a tax adviser or accountant.
