Yes, provision for income tax is considered a profit and loss item. It represents the estimated tax expense that a company expects to incur based on its taxable income for the period.

You may not understand what your asking, in provision and "tax" are 2 different things. Provision is a purely accounting (GAAP) term. it has nothing to do with IRS tax really. It isn't even part of IRS vernacular really. An Income Tax Provision basically has 2 components; Deferred Tax Provision & Current Tax Provision. (Some ancillary accounting lines may have to do with credits and tax effect of state tax deduction for example). The total income tax provision is the combination of the 2. If current tax provision is higher than deferred tax provision, than the deferred tax provision is a tax benefit. A very common thing that happens when tax accounting requires a provision be recorded for income recorded for GAAP before it is income for tax.
Best way to understand is through an example: If in 2010 you have a provision for tax of $2,000 payable for accounting. However the actual tax paid was $1,500. You would have an over provision of income tax. So once the tax is paid in 2011 it will Dr Provision Cr Bank. So in 2011 the amount of the over provision must be adjusted by: Dr Provision for tax Cr Income tax expense This will clear out the tax provision for 2011 resulting from the over provision. Same concept applies to under provsions.
Provisions are charge against profit and Reserves are appropriation of profit.
