INCOME TAXES

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and the recoverability of our deferred tax assets. Such determination is based primarily on our historical taxable income or loss, with some consideration given to our estimates of future taxable income or loss by jurisdictions in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets would be recoverable.

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits when applicable. As of September 30, 2021, we recognized accrued interest of $51,000 related to unrecognized tax benefits. No interest or penalties were recognized as of June 30, 2021, since we had sufficient tax attributes available to fully offset any potential assessment of additional tax. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, is 22% and 20%, respectively. The prior year effective tax rate is less than the current year rate due primarily to a tax benefit recognized as a result of the common stock awarded to our employees under previously granted performance awards (see Note 8).

We are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state tax jurisdictions. We are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended June 30, 2018 and later. Our state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended June 30, 2017 and later. However, because of research credit carryovers, substantially all of our tax years are subject to audit. We do not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
