Income Taxes | Note 13. Income Taxes We record our interim provision for income taxes by applying our estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date pre-tax income and adjusting for discrete tax items recorded in the period. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the reporting of amounts for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes. These differences relate primarily to different methods used for income tax reporting purposes, including for depreciation and amortization, warranty and vacation accruals, and deductions related to allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and inventory reserves. Our provision for income taxes included current federal and state income tax expense, as well as deferred federal and state income tax expense. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was a benefit of 0.4%, compared to a benefit of 1,405% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The primary driver of the change in our effective tax rate is attributable to recording a benefit in the three months ended June 30, 2021, to recognize a tax credit for a research and development credit study conducted for tax years 2017-2020. We recorded an income tax benefit of $20 thousand and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was an expense of 1.0%, compared to a benefit of 77.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The primary driver of the change in our effective tax rate is attributable to recording a benefit in the six months ended June 30, 2021, to recognize a tax credit for a research and development credit study conducted for tax years 2017-2020. We recorded an income tax expense of $0.2 million and a benefit of $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority is more-likely-than-not to sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. We are currently under examination by the New York Department of Taxation and Finance for tax years 2017, 2018, and 2019. The examination may lead to proposed adjustments to our taxes or our net operating losses with respect to years under examination as well as subsequent periods. In the event of any future tax assessments, we have elected to record the income taxes and any related interest and penalties as income tax expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company is not under examination in any other jurisdictions. |
