Question description
[Para. 4-a-9] Current taxes receivable uncollected at year-end, and the related Allowance for Uncollectible Current Taxes account, were both reclassified as delinquent.

As a result the amount was reclassified as deferred inflows of resources.
Required: Record the reclassification of the current taxes receivable and related allowance for uncollectible account in the General Fund and governmental activities journals.
