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.

When inventory increases the net operating income under absorption costing is always?

When inventory increases under absorption costing, the net operating income is generally higher because some fixed manufacturing costs are allocated to the additional inventory rather than being expensed in the current period. This results in lower costs being reported on the income statement, leading to an increase in net operating income. However, this effect is temporary, and if the inventory levels decrease in subsequent periods, the previously deferred costs will then be expensed, potentially lowering net operating income at that time.
