Temporary Difference

2020 Loss $ (1,000,000) * 25%=$250,000

The $250,000 is deductible temporary difference and will be recorded as

Deferred Tax Asset Dr.$250,000

Deferred Tax Income Cr.$250,000

It is given in question that company has $1.8 million profits in 2021, therefore in such case deferred tax asset is recorded as there is certain that company will have profits in future.
