Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach for measuring deferred taxes based on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the years in which taxes are expected to be paid or recovered. Each quarter we assess our deferred tax asset to determine whether all or any portion of the asset is more likely than not unrealizable under ASC 740. We are required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the asset we conclude is more likely than not to be unrealizable. Our assessment considers, among other things, the nature, frequency and severity of our current and cumulative losses, forecasts of our future taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax planning alternatives. We had net deferred tax assets of $67.8 million as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We had a valuation allowance related to those net deferred tax assets of $3.4 million as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company will continue to evaluate both positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Changes in positive and negative evidence, including differences between the Company’s future operating results and the estimates utilized in the determination of the valuation allowance, could result in changes in the Company’s estimate of the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. Also, changes in existing federal and state tax laws and tax rates could affect future tax results and the valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets. TRI Pointe has certain liabilities to Weyerhaeuser Company (“Weyerhaeuser”) related to a tax sharing agreement. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had an income tax liability to Weyerhaeuser of $577,000 and $6.6 million, respectively. The income tax liability to Weyerhaeuser is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we amended our existing tax sharing agreement with Weyerhaeuser, pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, that we had no further obligation to remit payment to Weyerhaeuser in connection with any potential utilization of certain deductions or losses associated with certain Weyerhaeuser entities with respect to federal and state taxes. As a result of the amendment, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, we decreased our income tax liability to Weyerhaeuser and recorded other income of $6.0 million, which is included in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Our provision for income taxes totaled $24,000 and $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company classifies any interest and penalties related to income taxes assessed by jurisdiction as part of income tax expense. The Company had $1.0 million of uncertain tax positions recorded as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company has not been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions related to prior years.
