Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) | Analysis of Income Taxes

Income Tax Accounting Policy

Hewlett-Packard recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts using enacted tax rates in effect for the year the differences are expected to reverse. Hewlett-Packard records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
