Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

9. Income Taxes:

As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $4.4 million in total gross unrecognized tax benefits. If recognized, $4.4 million would be recorded through the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our effective tax rate was 19.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 19.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in rate is primarily due to income allocated to high-tax jurisdictions offset by a favorable adjustment for excess tax benefits.

We are currently under a limited scope audit by the Internal Revenue Service for our 2021 and 2022 tax years. There are also ongoing U.S. state and local audits and other foreign audits covering fiscal years 2017 through 2023. We are generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years prior to 2017.
