28 May 2008 on 31 mar, u simply make this entry:

income tax a/c dr. 900
to provision for income tax 900

after filing the return, you should adjust all such accounts like income tax provision, tds receivable and advance tax etc. and balance should be trfd in tax payable or tax refundable a/c, as the case may be.

example:

income tax provision dr. 900
tax refundable dr. 100
to advance tax 800
to tds receivable 200

means you make entry simply as you have shown tax in your i.t. return.

you don't need to kept open these account merely for sake of assessment, tds certificates will cater to that purpose.
