Note 7Income Taxes
The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, which are taken into account in the quarterly period in which they occur.  We review and update our estimated annual effective tax rate each quarter. We recorded an approximately $34,000 income tax provision and $146,000 income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, our estimated annual effective tax rate was primarily impacted by the overall valuation allowance position which reduced the net tax impact from taxable income or loss for both periods.

In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted. The CARES Act, among other things, includes certain changes to U.S. tax law that impact the Company, including deferment of employer social security payments, modifications to interest deduction limitation rules, a technical correction to tax depreciation methods for certain qualified improvement property, and alternative minimum tax credit refund.

We are required to establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on available evidence, realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. We considered projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and reversal of taxable temporary differences in making this assessment. As such, we have determined that a full valuation allowance is required as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. As a result of a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets and liabilities, a deferred tax liability related to goodwill of $661,000 and $652,000 remained on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Under the provisions of ASC 740, we determined that there were approximately $835,000 and $763,000 of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $278,000 of tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. Also included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $556,000 and $485,000, respectively, of tax benefits that, if recognized, would not impact the effective tax rate due to the Company’s valuation allowance.  The Company had accrued interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits of $246,000 and $241,000, which were recorded in other liabilities as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.  We believe that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will not significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.
