Answer from 2024 FDD Document

Income Taxes

The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries are C corporations subject to federal, state, and local income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it files. These taxes and their effects have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements' carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, as disclosed in Note 6, are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the changes during the year in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company evaluated its tax positions and determined it has no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
