7. Income Taxes

 

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA 2022”). The IRA 2022, among other tax provisions, imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on corporations with book financial statement income in excess of $1.0 billion, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The IRA 2022 also establishes a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases made by publicly traded U.S. corporations, effective for stock repurchases in excess of an annual limit of $1.0 million after December 31, 2022. The IRA 2022 did not impact the Company’s current year tax provision or the Company’s financial statements.

 

The income tax provision consists of the following for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

 

   2023   2022 
   Six Months Ended September 30 
   2023   2022

State   -    - 
Total deferred income tax expense   149,862    - 
Total income tax expense:  $196,026   $53,250 

 

 

Federal income tax for the six months ended September 30, 2023 was $149,862. There was no federal income tax expense for the six months ended September 30, 2022 because the Company was in a net deferred tax asset position.

 

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to income taxes computed using the federal statutory rate for the six months ended September 30 follows:

 

   2023   2022 
Tax expense at federal statutory rate (1)  $195,525   $527,182 
Statutory depletion carryforward   (65,011)   (98,658)
