Income Taxes [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Note 5: Income Taxes

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), enacted on March 27, 2020, includes significant income and payroll tax provisions. Additionally, the CARES Act modified the rules associated with net operating losses (“NOLs”) and made technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. Under the temporary provisions of CARES Act, NOL carryforwards and carrybacks may offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, NOLs arising in 2018, 2019 and 2020 taxable years may be carried back to each of the preceding five years to generate a refund.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 28.1% and 16.5%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was (126.6)% and 265.7%, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective rate of (126.6)% and the expected federal statutory rate of 21.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to finalization of the impacts of the CARES Act, which gives the Company the ability to carry back federal NOLs to years with a federal statutory tax rate of 35%. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a provision (benefit) for income taxes of $0.7 million and $(0.3) million, respectively. The increase in the provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was due to an increase in pretax income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a (benefit) provision for income taxes of $(2.6) million and $0.3 million, respectively. The decrease in the provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is due to the benefit generated from the NOL carryback tax rate differential.

The Company records interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense when applicable. As of September 30, 2020, and 2019, the Company has not recognized any liabilities for uncertain tax positions, nor have interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions been accrued.
