Note 8 – Income Taxes

The income tax provision resulted in an expense of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The federal portion was fully offset by an adjustment to the valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.9%, which is fully attributable to the State of Texas. Our net deferred income tax liability balance of $7.0 million as of March 31, 2023 is also fully attributable to the State of Texas and primarily related to property.

The income tax provision resulted in a benefit of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The federal portion was fully offset by an adjustment to the valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.9%, which was fully attributable to the State of Texas.

We had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. There were no interest and penalty charges recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Tax years from 2018 forward remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject; however, net operating losses originating in prior years are subject to examination when utilized.
