Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES The Company recorded income tax expense of $54,119 and $41,521 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, or 24.7% of earnings before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 22.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate for both periods is driven by the impact of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, offset by non-deductible expenses including non-deductible compensation. The Company is not currently under examination by any major income tax jurisdiction. During 2025, the statutes of limitations will lapse on the Company's 2021 federal tax year and certain 2020 and 2021 state tax years. The Company does not believe the federal or state statute lapses or any other event will significantly impact the balance of unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. The net balance of unrecognized tax benefits was not material to the Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBB includes provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and changes to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions. These changes include 100% bonus depreciation for capital expenditures incurred after January 19, 2025, and full expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures. FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of tax law changes to be recognized in the period of enactment. As the legislation was signed into law after the close of the Company's second quarter, the impacts are not included in the Company's operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company is currently assessing the impact but does not expect that the provisions will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
