Fin 48 clarified the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by providing criteria for the recognition and measurement of Unrecognized Tax Benefits (UTB). UTBs are a reserve account for future tax contingencies and liabilities. They represent the firm's expectation of additional tax expense from the resolution of an audit by the taxing authorities, assuming all tax positions will be subject to audit.
An unrecognized tax benefit is the difference between the tax benefit reflected on the income tax return and the amount of the benefit recorded on the financial statements.

The $40 difference is the unrecognized tax benefit.
