We are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state tax jurisdictions. We remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years 2021 through 2024. We also remain open to examination by various state tax jurisdictions for tax years 2020 through 2024. The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was immaterial as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, which were immaterial in 2024, 2023 and 2022, are recorded in “Provision for income taxes” on our Statements of Operations. Changes in our liability for unrecognized tax benefits could affect our effective tax rate, if recognized, but we do not expect any material changes within the next twelve months.
