What is going on here generally?
There are amounts that will cause the future taxable income to be greater than the future book income.
- Logically, you will owe taxes in the future due to this type of difference--a future taxable amount (FTA).

There are also amounts that will cause future taxable income to be less than the future book income.
- Logically, you will have your tax payable reduced by this type of difference--a future deductible difference (FDA).
