Essentially, they are taxes that are 'deferred' to a later time. Tax Liabilities are typically taxes you are required to pay on income, or profit, you have obtained. Being able to 'defer' them is a means by which you are allowed to push them off until a future date when your tax 'status' would place you in a tax bracket that withholds less taxes from your income (as in when you retire).

Should a deferred expense or deferred rent in this example be classified as 'Long Term Liability'?
Deferred Expenses are on the asset side of the balance sheet, not the liability side. Long Term relates to anything beyond the next twelve months, but a long term deferred expense would probably be listed as "Other Assets". The deferred expenses are correctly represent the Assets of the company. But, if a company has not paid its rent & its due in next 12 month or may be due on virtual payment basis in 2-3 years, then such expense (deferred rent) is required to be shown on Liability side of the B/S. Furthermore, such payments to be made in next 12 months are to be presented as Current Liability & payments to be expelled in more than 12 months are to be shown as Non-Current Liability Section.

How do you adjust straight line amortization of deferred rent when lease is extended?
I am not entirely positive. But I believe you would take the balance of the deferred rent liability at relating to the lease prior to expansion and amortize it over the remaining life of the new lease. If deferred rent liability was 10k as of 10/31/2011 and you extended the lease term for two years ending 12/31/2013 you would calculate the new straightline expense of the lease at time of the extension through the end of the lease term and determine the deffered rent liability as of 12/31/2011. Then add 10K/24 = 417X 2 = 834 to the 12/31/2011 deferred rent balance of the new lease You are debiting the deferred rent liability and crediting expense to decrease the deferred rent liability associated with the old lease.
