Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 8. Federal income tax The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal, state or local income tax has been recorded in the financial statements. Taxable income differs from net increase in net assets resulting from operations primarily due to unrealized appreciation on investments as investment gains and losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized. The following table reconciles net (decrease) increase in net assets resulting from operations to taxable income:

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and incur a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company elected to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions of $38.6 million and $18.8 million, respectively. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, a provision for excise tax of $1.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively was recorded. Capital losses in excess of capital gains earned in a tax year may generally be carried forward, without expiration, and used to offset capital gains, subject to certain limitations. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not use any material capital loss carry forwards to offset capital gains.
