This question feels similar to one we practiced where the carrying value exceeded the tax base. I think it was option C, but I might be mixing it up.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to recognize that since the carrying value is greater than the tax base, there will be a deferred tax liability. The journal entry should be to debit the deferred tax provision and credit tax expense.
