Note 11. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the difference is expected to reverse. Additionally, the impact of changes in the tax rates and laws on deferred taxes, if any, is reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in the period of enactment.

The Company reported income tax expense of $0.8 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company’s effective federal and state income tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2020 is primarily related to a reduction in income for the three months ended, a decrease in expected tax benefits on stock-based compensation, as well as an additional valuation allowance related to certain net state deferred tax assets.

As a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act enacted on March 27, 2020, companies are able to request refunds of the remaining amount of refundable Alternative Minimum Tax carryforwards. Previously, the remaining amount would have been refunded between 2020 and 2021. As such, the Company expects to receive refunds of approximately $4.4 million within the next 12 months.

The CARES Act also contains modifications on the limitation of business interest for tax years 2019 and 2020. The modifications to Section 163(j) increase the allowable business interest deduction from 30% of adjusted taxable income to 50% of adjusted taxable income. This modification will ultimately decrease the interest limitation deferred tax asset and increase the net operating loss deferred tax asset resulting in no material impact to the financial statements.
