(9) Income Taxes

As of September 30, 2024, Inspirato Incorporated holds 100.0% of the economic and voting interest in Inspirato LLC (see Note 13), which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, Inspirato LLC is itself generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax under current U.S. tax laws as its net taxable income or loss is passed through to its members and included in their tax returns, even though such net taxable income may not have actually been distributed. Inspirato Incorporated is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to its 100.0% distributive share of the net taxable income of Inspirato LLC. Inspirato Incorporated is also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

The effective income tax rate was 2.2% and negative 5.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and negative 2.0% and negative 1.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The income tax expense within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) represents amounts owed to state and foreign taxing authorities.

The Company has assessed the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and in that analysis has considered the relevant positive and negative evidence available to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at Inspirato Incorporated as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, which will be maintained until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances.

On February 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (the "TRA"). Under the TRA, the Company was generally required to pay holders of the noncontrolling interests in Inspirato LLC, who also held noneconomic voting interests in Inspirato Incorporated through their ownership of Class V Common Stock of Inspirato Incorporated (the “Continuing Inspirato Members”), 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state or local tax that the Company realized directly or indirectly (or were deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of (i) certain tax attributes created as a result of any sales or exchanges (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to or with the Company of their interests in Inspirato for shares of Inspirato Incorporated's Class A Common Stock or cash, including any basis adjustment relating to the assets of Inspirato and (ii) tax benefits attributable to payments made under the TRA (including imputed interest).

On August 9, 2024, the TRA was terminated by the Company and the other signatory parties. As consideration for the termination, the Company paid a full and final settlement amount of $0.3 million, which is presented within restructuring charges within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The Company’s income tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing jurisdictions. The Company will monitor the status of U.S. federal, state and local income tax returns that may be subject to audit in future periods. No U.S. federal, state and local income tax returns are currently under examination by the respective taxing authorities.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has recorded amounts related to indirect taxes, uncertain tax positions and foreign income taxes, totaling $3.0 million, within other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on its current estimate of their realizability.
