If listed as "Income Tax Refund", that suggests that the tax return has
already been filed and it's just a formality for the refund to show up.
I prefer the account "Prepaid Taxes" since on 12/31 work on the 1120
hasn't even been started.

"Income Tax Refund" as a current asset on the Balance Sheet.

You can further split it into Federal and State if you have both.

If you leave part of it to be applied to 2009, then a current asset account
called something like "Estimated Income Tax Paid".

Default Tax Overpayment - balance sheet ?

How should an overpayment of estimated 2008 corporate taxes be
included in an accrual-based Balance Sheet "Assets"? This is the
amount that will be refunded in 2009 after tax returns are filed.
