Since tax matters are subject to some degree of uncertainty, there can be no assurance that the Departments tax returns will not be challenged by the taxing authorities and that the Department will not be subject to tax, penalties and interest as a result of such challenge. Generally, the Departments tax returns remain open for three years for federal and state income tax examination. The Department does not have accruals for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2025.
