Since the tax rate is not mentioned, The  company’s current income tax expense or benefit is $64000*tax rate.

Explanation:

Net operating loss = pretax book income - depreciation - tax-exempt municipal bond interest

                               = 610000 - 520000 - 255000

                               = -165000

Current tax benefit = Net Operating Loss carryback to prior year*tax rate

                                =64000*tax rate

Therefore, since the tax rate is not mentioned, The  company’s current income tax expense or benefit is $64000*tax rate.
