The Company has identified the United States and New York State as its major tax jurisdictions. Fiscal year 2018 and forward years are still open for examination. In addition, the Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary which operates in a Free Zone in the Dominican Republic (“DR”) and is exempt from DR income tax.

The Company was audited by the IRS for the fiscal year 2016. In July 2019, the Company received Form 4549-A, Income Tax Examination Changes from the IRS proposing an adjustment to income for the fiscal 2016 tax year regarding deemed dividends based on its interpretation of Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 956 arising from the intercompany balances on the books of the Company. In August 2019, the Company filed a formal protest with the IRS requesting an opportunity to appeal the examination findings to the Appeals Office. During fiscal year 2020, the Company settled the issue. There was a provision recorded for the federal and state impact of $762,000 and $70,000, respectively.

The Company was audited by the IRS for the fiscal year 2017. The Company received Form 4549-A, Income Tax Examination Changes from the IRS proposing an adjustment to income for the fiscal 2017 tax year regarding deemed dividends based on its interpretation under IRC Section 956 arising from the intercompany balances on the books of the Company. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company settled the issue and paid the IRS $399,000. The Company reported the results of the IRS exam to all the jurisdictions in which it files and paid taxes and interest totaling $97,000. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company paid the IRS $68,000 for interest. None of the payments were recorded to expense in 2021, since liabilities had previously been established.

The IRS is currently auditing the Company’s Federal income tax return for the tax year ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2022, the IRS has not communicated any material changes to the Company’s previously reported income tax returns and the Company has not established any reserves to uncertain matters as a result of the audit.

The provision for income taxes represents Federal, foreign, and state and local income taxes. The effective rate differs from statutory rates due to the effect of tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, state and local income taxes, tax benefit of R&D credits, certain nondeductible expenses, uncertain tax positions, audit settlements and global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI").

During the year ending June 30, 2022, the Company increased its reserve for uncertain income tax positions by $25,000. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense and accrued income taxes. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had accrued interest totaling $88,000 and $678,000 of unrecognized net tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in any future period. The Company does not expect that its unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months. The Company claims R&D tax credits on eligible research and development expenditures. The R&D tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense.
