It is standard procedure for public accountants to prepare P&L with a subtotal line called Income Before Income Tax, then Income Tax, and then Net Income.  I set up the Corporate Income Tax Provision as a separate account.  But the problem is trying to create Income Before Income Tax that will show Gross Profit less all the other expenses (except Corporate Income Tax).
