Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes |
12. | INCOME TAXES
New tax legislation, referred to as the Tax Reform Act, was enacted on December 22, 2017. ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, requires companies to recognize the effect of tax law changes in the period of enactment. Beginning in 2018, the Tax Reform Act reduces the federal tax rate for corporations from 35% to 21% and changes or limits certain tax deductions. During the fourth quarter of 2017, a $13.2 million one-time charge to income tax expense was recorded due to the tax rate reduction and re-measurement of our deferred taxes assets (“DTA”). The current and deferred amounts of income tax expense (benefit) consist of the following.
