Income Taxes	Note 7. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate which is generally lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards, the benefit of which had not previously been recognized due to the Company’s full valuation allowance. The annual effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuations during the year as new information is obtained which may affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors such as expected utilization of net operating loss carryforwards, changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where the Company conducts business, the Company’s expansion into new states or foreign countries, and the amount of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $22,000 and $77,000, respectively which was primarily comprised of federal alternative minimum tax and state income taxes. The Company recorded no provision for income taxes in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of its assets and liabilities along with net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company records a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets to reduce the net carrying value to an amount it believes is more likely than not to be realized. When the Company establishes or reduces the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes will increase or decrease, respectively, in the period such determination is made. For each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had established a valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets. Additionally, the Company follows an accounting standard addressing the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes that prescribes rules for recognition, measurement and classification in the financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
