18. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

 

The Trust and subsidiaries have income tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5.4 million at January 31, 2023. In 2005, the Trust had an ownership change within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. However, the Trust determined that such ownership change would not have a material impact on the future use of the net operating losses.

 

The Trust amended the federal and state income tax returns for tax years 2017 and 2018, resulting in a recalculation of the net operating loss carry-forward. The impact of the amended returns are reflected in the below data.

The Trust is taxed as a C-Corporation. The Trust’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Trust has received various IRS and state tax jurisdiction notices which the Trust in the process of responding to in which management believes the notices are without merit and expect full remediation of all tax notices. The Trust and subsidiaries have deferred tax assets of $4.4 million which includes cumulative net operating loss carryforwards of $1.4 million and syndications of $2.9 million, and deferred tax liability associated with book/tax differences of $1.8 million as of January 31, 2023. We have evaluated the net deferred tax asset and determined that it is not more likely than not we will receive full benefit from the net operating loss carryforwards. Therefore, we have determined a valuation allowance of approximately $2.6 million.
