Alsup Consulting sometimes performs services for which it receives payment at the conclusion of the engagement, up to six months after services commence. Alsup recognizes service revenue for financial reporting purposes when the services are performed. For tax purposes, revenue is reported when fees are collected. Service revenue, collections, and pretax accounting income for 2020-2023 are as follows:

                 Service Revenue . Collections . Pretax Accounting Income

2020           $740,000             $700,000              $266,000

2021            830,000             858,000                 340,000

2022            790,000              782,000                308,000

2023             796,000              800,000              280,000

There are no differences between accounting income and taxable income other than the temporary difference described above. The enacted tax rate for each year is 25%.
