The accounting income (loss) figures for Bridgeport Corporation are as follows:

2015		$166,000
2016		242,000
2017		82,000
2018		(166,000	)
2019		(385,000	)
2020		150,000
2021		147,000

Accounting income (loss) and taxable income (loss) were the same for all years involved. Assume a 30% tax rate for 2015 and 2016, and a 25% tax rate for the remaining years. Prepare the journal entries for each of the years 2017 to 2021 to record income tax expense and the effects of the tax loss carrybacks and carryforwards, assuming Bridgeport Corporation uses the carryback provision first. All income and losses relate to normal operations and it is more likely than not that the company will generate substantial taxable income in the future. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)
