Income Taxes Income Taxes
Effective in the first quarter of 2024, we began calculating our income tax provision using the estimated annual effective tax rate method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 740 - Income Taxes and we no longer apply the exception that allowed the use of the year-to-date effective tax rate method. We believe the change in this calculation is appropriate as it allows us to reliably calculate the estimated annual effective tax rate due to our sustained profitability and confidence in future earnings.
Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, differs from the statutory rates primarily as a result of the differing apportionment rates for our state income taxes as well as an adjustment for equity compensation.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, our effective tax rate differed from the statutory rates primarily as a result of our various state income tax apportionment factors, equity compensation, and the recording of a valuation allowance.
Our net taxable income must be apportioned to various states based upon the income tax laws of the states in which we derive our revenue. Our NOL carryforwards will not always be available to offset taxable income apportioned to the various states. The states from which our refining, retail, and logistics revenues are derived are not the same states in which our NOLs were incurred; therefore, we expect to incur state tax liabilities in connection with our refining, retail, and logistics operations.
