by When any company becomes bankrupt, at that time, deficiency account is prepared. This account shows the reasons of company’s deficiency. Company’s deficiency may be happened due to high level of losses, decrease the value of assets or any other reason. This account is not made on double entry system. But this account is the statement of simple calculations. First of all, we make the list of items which either contribute the deficiency or increase the deficiency. After this, we deduct the items which either reduce the deficiency or contribute the surplus.
A deficiency is the numerical difference between the amount of tax that a taxpayer, or taxpaying entity, reports on a tax return and the amount that the Revenue Service (IRS) determines is actually owed. The term only applies to shortfalls and not to surpluses. Taxpayers are notified of deficiencies via deficiency letters.
