Income Taxes Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $2,231 and $1,078, respectively. The effective consolidated income tax rates were 16% and 9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to the tax deficiencies recorded in the first quarter of 2024 for share-based payments and other discrete tax items. SJW Group had unrecognized tax benefits, before the impact of deductions of state taxes, excluding interest and penalties, of approximately $4,488 and $4,511 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. SJW Group currently does not expect uncertain tax positions to change significantly over the next 12 months, except in the case of a lapse of the statute of limitations.
