NOTE 7—INCOME TAXES

 

The Company incurred an income tax benefit of $125,000 during the three months ended January 31, 2020 and incurred income tax expense of $61,000 during the nine months ended January 31, 2020, with an effective tax rate of 22.3% and 16.3%, respectively, compared to no income tax expense or benefit being incurred during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2019. 

 

As of January 31,  2020, the federal tax returns for the fiscal years ended 2017 through 2019 are open to audit until the statute of limitations closes for the years in which our net operating losses are utilized. We would recognize interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within income tax expense. As of January 31, 2020, we recorded no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. We expect no significant change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefit, accrued interest or penalties within the next twelve months.
