Income Taxes Income Taxes
We are the sole managing member of RMR LLC. We are a corporation subject to U.S. federal and state income tax with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income of RMR LLC and its tax consolidated subsidiaries. RMR LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, RMR LLC is generally not subject to U.S. federal and most state income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by RMR LLC is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including RMR Inc. and ABP Trust, based on each member’s respective ownership percentage. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, all of our income before taxes was derived solely from domestic operations.
We had a provision (benefit) for income taxes which consists of the following:

ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides a model for how a company should recognize, measure and present in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken with respect to all open years and in all significant jurisdictions. Pursuant to this topic, we recognize a tax benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that a particular tax position will be sustained upon examination or audit. To the extent the “more likely than not” standard has been satisfied, the benefit associated with a tax position is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50.0% likely to be realized upon settlement. 
We continue to be subject to federal, state, and local income tax audit examinations for open periods, which can lead to adjustments to our provision for income taxes, the resolution of which may be highly uncertain. We received a proposed adjustment from a state jurisdiction with respect to the tax years ended September 30, 2019 and 2020. As a result, we have accrued an uncertain tax position reserve for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 related to the adjustment for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2019 and thereafter. Our policy is to include interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes in our consolidated statements of income.
As of September 30, 2024, our gross unrecognized tax benefit from uncertain tax positions, exclusive of interest expense, was $1,449, of which $107 is based on positions related to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, we recognized $252 for interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits and had $1,701 of gross unrecognized tax benefits. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, we had no uncertain tax positions. We do not reasonably expect any significant changes relating to our unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
