Income Taxes Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated, currently qualifies and intends to qualify annually as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, the Company is not taxed on any investment company taxable income or capital gains that it distributes to stockholders. The Company intends to distribute all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains annually. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income tax has been made in the consolidated financial statements.
Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal tax regulations, which may differ from amounts in accordance with GAAP and those differences could be material. These book-to-tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. Reclassifications due to permanent book-to-tax differences have no impact on net assets. 
The following permanent differences were reclassified for tax purposes:
For the Years Ended December 31,
202520242023
Increase (decrease) in capital in excess of par value$89$(1,099)$(495)
Increase (decrease) in accumulated undistributed (overdistributed) earnings(89)1,099 495 
Taxable income generally differs from net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses and generally excludes unrealized gain (loss) on investments as investment gains and losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.
Capital losses in excess of capital gains earned in a tax year may generally be carried forward and used to offset capital gains, subject to certain limitations. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred after September 30, 2011 are not subject to expiration and retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had short-term capital loss carryforwards of $1,387 and zero, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had long-term capital loss carryforwards of $3,918 and zero, respectively.
