INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes payable or refundable currently or in future years related to cumulative temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the Company's balance sheets. The tax effect of the net change in the cumulative temporary differences during each period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities determines the periodic provision for deferred taxes.
The Company assesses the recoverability of its deferred tax assets each period by considering whether it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available (both positive and negative) evidence, including future reversals of temporary differences, tax-planning strategies, projected future taxable income, and results of operations. The Company has cumulative book income for the prior three years and is forecasting future book income, which resulted in the full valuation allowance being removed as of December 31, 2020.
Federal income tax expense differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 21% to income before income taxes primarily due to the effect of state income taxes, changes in valuation allowances, and other permanent differences. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded income tax expense of $15.6 million and $5.2 million, respectively, compared to $4.7 million of income tax expense for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company's management does not believe that there are any new items or changes in facts or judgments that would impact the Company's tax position taken thus far in 2021.
