  1. 220-20Unusual or Infrequently Occurring Items220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income

    ASC 220-20 governs how an entity presents and discloses material events or transactions that are unusual in nature, infrequent in occurrence, or both. Such items must be reported as a separate component of income from continuing operations, with their nature and financial effects either shown on the face of the income statement or disclosed in the notes (220-20-45-1; 220-20-50-1). They may not be presented net of tax on the face of the income statement, and their per-share effects may not be shown there.

  2. 225-20Unusual or Infrequently Occurring Items225 Income Statement

    ASC 225-20 formerly governed the reporting of extraordinary items (events both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence) and unusual or infrequently occurring items in the income statement. Every paragraph has been superseded: ASU 2015-01 eliminated the extraordinary item concept and its separate net-of-tax presentation below income from continuing operations, and Maintenance Update 2017-19 removed the remaining shell paragraphs after the transition period ended. Presentation and disclosure of material unusual or infrequently occurring items now resides in ASC 220-20 (Income Statement—Unusual or Infrequently Occurring Items).
