We just replaced the initial Tax related databases and got rid of the _NEW tag that was appended to the name. To learn about the content please reads this (or this) from our knowledge base.

Manish has been working diligently to update these and I think he has done a tremendous job even though sometimes from the outside it might look like we are not making progress. We now have data from 2015 filings available in the TAX_RECON file. The DEFERRED_TAX file is still limited to filings back to 2019. For both files we are adding data as it is filed with EDGAR weekly.

Remember – we are trying to merge the XBRL data with the data that was originally reported in the HTML table in the 10-K/EX-13s. When we conceived of this as a way to add more robustness and utility to the data that exists in the ExtractionPreprocessed system as we move it to the database it seemed like an easy proposition. Unfortunately that has not been the case. Frankly all of our work makes us very suspicious of any data pulled directly from the XBRL as it is just not very complete and or has other issues.

I am going to try to document some of these issues in a later post.
