Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	13. Income Taxes In response to global pandemic associated with COVID-19, President Donald Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provided both stimulus measures and a number of tax provisions, including: temporary changes regarding the utilization and carry back of net operating losses, temporary changes to the prior and future limitations on interest deductions, technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of qualified improvement property, and certain refundable employee retention credits. The CARES Act enables the Company to file a refund claim to reflect a refund of its 2016 tax liability by carrying back its 2018, 2019 and 2020 losses to fully offset this liability. The refund claim attributable to the 2018 and 2019 tax years has been recorded as a discrete item in the income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $2.9 million. In addition, the Company is currently estimating it will be able to carry back a portion of its current and forecasted 2020 net operating losses as of the end of the year and has included an estimate in its annual effective tax rate calculation as of June 30, 2020, which resulted in an additional income tax benefit of $1.0 million recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020. On June 12, 2020, the Comptroller of Maryland issued a report announcing that the state decoupled from the CARES Act loss carryback provisions for the 2020 year only, but indicated uncertainty as to whether the General Assembly would pass a measure to decouple from all years in the CARES Act and not process amended filings in the interim. As a result, an additional discrete item in the income tax benefit of $1.0 million was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2020 related to the release of valuation allowance related to losses that could potentially be carried back to the 2016 tax year under current law. Accordingly, the Company has recognized a total tax benefit of $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
