Total income taxes paid in fiscal 2024 and 2023 were $7,860,000 and $2,300,000, respectively. GAAP prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial recognition, measurement, classification, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. GAAP contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax position and determining the Company’s provision for taxes. Although the Company believes the reserves of unrecognized tax benefits (“UTB’s”) are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these matters will not be different from that which is reflected in the Company’s historical income tax provision and accruals. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had UTB’s of $ 1,376,000 and $ 176,000 , respectively. The Company accrued $1.2 million of UTB’s in the year ended September 30, 2024. The Company accrued $45,000 of UTB’s in the year ended September 30, 2023. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of our unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended September 30, 2024 is as follows:
|  | 2024 |
Balance, beginning of year |  | $ | 176,000 |
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year |  |  | 454,000 |
Additions based on tax positions of prior years |  |  | 746,000 |
Balance, end of year |  | $ | 1,376,000 |
The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to UTB’s as a component of income tax expense. There were no additional accruals of interest expense nor penalties of significance during fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the UTB’s with respect to certain unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease during the next 12 months. The Company does not expect the change to have a material effect on its results of operations or its financial position. The only expected potential reason for change would be the ultimate results stemming from any examinations by taxing authorities. If recognized, the entire amount of UTB’s would have an impact on the Company’s effective income tax rate. The effective income tax rate for fiscal 2024 was 29.8% versus 21.9% in fiscal 2023. There were no R&D Credits generated in fiscal 2024 or 2023 and there were no carryforwards of R&D Credits as of September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023. The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns, as well as income tax returns in multiple state jurisdictions. No income tax returns are currently under examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns filed for tax years prior to fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 are generally no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations for periods prior to fiscal 2020.
