13. Income Taxes

Income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 20, 2020 and 2019 have been calculated based on an estimated annual effective tax rate and certain discrete items. For the three and nine months end September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $0 million.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other things, the CARES Act permits corporate taxpayers to carryback net operating losses (“NOLs”) originating in 2018 through 2020 to each of the five preceding tax years. Further, the CARES Act removed the 80% taxable income limitation on utilization of those NOLs allowing corporate taxpayers to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020. Such changes may result in the generation of refunds of previously paid income taxes which are expected to be received over the next eighteen months.

The Company has never been examined by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction for any tax years and, as such, all years within the applicable statutes of limitations are potentially subject to audit.
