Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company utilized a discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by ASC 740-270 “Income Taxes, Interim Reporting,” to calculate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company determined that small changes in estimated “ordinary” income would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate (“AETR”), and therefore, the AETR method would not provide a reliable estimate.

The Company classifies accruals for uncertain tax positions within Other long-term liabilities on the Balance Sheets, separate from any related income tax payable or deferred income taxes. Reserve amounts relate to any potential income tax liabilities resulting from uncertain tax positions as well as potential interest or penalties associated with those liabilities. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use existing deferred tax assets. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company evaluated its forecasted adjusted taxable income and objectively verifiable evidence and placed substantial weight on its 2022 and 2023 quarterly earnings, adjusted for non-recurring items, including the interest expense disallowed under current tax law. Accordingly, the Company determined it was more likely than not that a portion of the federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized and, as a result, during the second quarter of 2023, the Company reversed the valuation allowance related to these deferred tax assets and recorded an income tax benefit of $940 million. The Company is still carrying a valuation allowance on certain federal and state deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized in the future. The Company has assessed the changes to the valuation allowance, including realization of the disallowed interest expense deferred tax asset, using the integrated approach. The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2024 differed from the expected income tax benefit based on the federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to an increase in federal and state valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets for excess business interest expense. The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differed from the expected income tax benefit based on the federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to state deferred tax benefits generated from net operating losses becoming available due to elections to treat certain subsidiary corporations as disregarded entities for income tax purposes. The Company, including its subsidiaries, files tax returns with federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. The Company does not have tax sharing agreements with the other members within its consolidated group. The Company is subject to exam by various state and foreign tax authorities. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to US federal or state and local tax assessments by tax authorities for years before 2020, and it is possible that the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits could change during the next 12 months.
