For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company utilized a discrete period method to calculate taxes, as it does not believe that the annual effective tax rate method represents a reliable estimate given the current uncertainty surrounding the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") and its impact on the Company's annual guidance. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had income tax expense of $3.2 million. The income tax expense represents a noncash expense as the Company continues to utilize its NOLs. The Company had income tax expense of $28.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed and enacted into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). The CARES Act, among other things, provides temporary relief from certain aspects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that had imposed limitations on the utilization of certain losses, interest expense deductions and alternative minimum tax ("AMT") credits. The CARES Act also provides opportunities for businesses to improve their cash flows by obtaining refunds for prior taxable years and reducing their income and deferring payroll tax liabilities for the current taxable year. Specifically, Section 2305 of the CARES Act accelerates the ability to receive refunds of remaining AMT credits for tax years 2019, 2020 and 2021. As a result, the Company recorded an adjustment of approximately $11.3 million to reclassify AMT credits from a non-current income tax receivable to a current income tax receivable, as the Company now expects to receive these refunds this year. The Company now expects to receive approximately $24.3 million in 2020 for refunds of AMT credits. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the CARES Act on its business, financial results and disclosures.
