NOTE 13. INCOME TAXES

Valuation Allowance

The amount of our deferred tax assets considered realizable could be adjusted if projections of future taxable income are reduced or objective negative evidence in the form of a three–year cumulative loss is present or both. Should we no longer have a level of sustained profitability, excluding nonrecurring charges, we will have to rely more on our future projections of taxable income to determine if we have an adequate source of taxable income for the realization of our deferred tax assets, namely net operating loss, interest limitation and tax credit carryforwards. This may result in the need to record a valuation allowance against all or a portion of our deferred tax assets.

Effective Tax Rate

The year-to-date effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 differed significantly from our statutory rate primarily due to unrecognized tax benefits and the limitation on executive compensation.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

As of September 30, 2022, we believe it is reasonably possible that $2.7 million of our unrecognized tax benefits, including penalties, interest and discontinued operations, will be reduced prior to September 30, 2023 due to the settlement of audits or the expiration of statutes of limitations or both. However, due to the uncertain and complex application of the tax regulations, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters may result in liabilities that could materially differ from this estimate.

Impact of New Legislation

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act (Public Law Number 117–169). This legislation is expected to have an immaterial impact to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
