Account differences occur when accounting rules for Book and Tax accounts vary. A temporary difference will be balanced out over time - e.g. accelerated depreciation for tax purposes. A permanent difference will not be balanced out over time - e.g. tax on municipal interest (this has is non-taxable, but will show up on the books).
