FAR- Deferred Tax Asset/Liability

Does anyone have a good way of dumbing this down? This topic is really confusing for me. I have a hard time distinguishing between the DTL and the DTA. In Becker it has this pass key: Future tax accounting income>Future financial accounting income= DTL Future tax accounting income<future financial accounting income= DTA For some reason, this pass key isn't helping me at all and I just can't figure it out.
