Note 13. Income Taxes

The Company computed the year-to-date income tax provision by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the year-to-date pre-tax income and adjusted for discrete tax items in the period. The Company’s income tax benefit was $1,501,595 and $2,668,769 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively, and $496,880 and $449,828 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.

The income tax expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to federal and state income taxes and nondeductible expenses for an effective tax rate of approximately 29%. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, the difference between the U.S. statutory rate and the Company’s effective tax rate is due to the full valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Future realization of the tax benefits of existing temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. The Company periodically evaluates the realizability of its net deferred tax assets based on all available evidence, both positive and negative. The Company also considered whether there was any currently available information about future years. The Company determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will have future taxable income to fully realize the Company’s deferred tax asset.

As of March 31, 2024, there was approximately $10,472,757 of losses available to reduce federal taxable income in future years and can be carried forward indefinitely.
