Note 5 – Income Taxes:

 

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2021 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The Company has filed a federal income tax return for tax year 2018 and 2019 (fiscal year 2019 and 2020) and carried back a taxable loss of $34,405 to tax years 2013 (fiscal 2014), 2014 (fiscal year 2015), 2015 (fiscal year 2016), 2016 (fiscal year 2017) and 2018 (fiscal year 2019).

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law. Among other significant changes, the Tax Act reduced the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%. The carryback of NOLs from tax years 2018 and 2019 under the CARES Act to pre-Tax Act years generated an income tax benefit due to the differential in income tax rates which was recorded in fiscal year 2020.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate was 32.7% and 23.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was impacted by such items as non-deductible meals and entertainment, non-taxable gains and losses on life insurance policies and state income taxes.

 

As of April 15, 2022, the Company has a federal NOL carry forward of approximately $10,336 and state NOL carry forwards of approximately $8,109.

 

Our federal income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the fiscal years 2018 through 2020. We are subject to income tax in California and various other state taxing jurisdictions. Our state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the fiscal years 2017 through 2020.
