7. Income Taxes The effective income tax rates on continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were 22.10% and 33.7%, respectively. In general, the effective tax rates differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, non-deductible expenses such as those related to certain executive compensation, and other discrete tax benefits recorded during the period. The year-to-date provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included taxes on earnings at an anticipated annual effective tax rate of 26.63% and a net, favorable tax impact of $5,543 related primarily to discrete tax benefits originating from stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The year-to-date provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included taxes on earnings at an anticipated annual effective tax rate of 25.19% and a favorable tax impact of $58,443 related primarily to discrete tax benefits originating from stock option exercises and certain non-deductible expenses related to executive compensation that were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. On August 9, 2022, the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (“CHIPS”) Act of 2022 was signed into law. The CHIPS Act is designed to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing and encourage US research activities. Later that month, on August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) of 2022 was signed into law. The IRA creates a new book-minimum tax on certain large corporations and an excise tax on stock buybacks while also providing incentives to address climate change mitigation and clean energy, among other items. Most of these changes will become effective for the 2023 tax year and after initial evaluation, the Company does not currently expect these laws to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record any unrecognized tax benefits or interest and penalties related to any uncertain tax positions. |
