Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded an income tax benefit of $5.7 million primarily driven by a non-cash deferred tax benefit of $5.5 million primarily driven by our 2024 taxable loss. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded an income tax benefit of $115.3 million primarily driven by a non-cash deferred tax benefit of $277.7 million related to the release of a majority of the valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets, partially offset by state tax expense. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded an income tax expense of $0.7 million primarily driven by an increase in state taxable income and the recording of a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. In connection with our emergence from bankruptcy on August 31, 2012, we experienced an ownership change as defined under Section 382 of the Code. Section 382 generally places a limit on the amount of NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes arising before an ownership change that may be used to offset taxable income after an ownership change. We believe that we have qualified for an exception to the general limitation rules under Code Section 382(l)(5) which provides for substantially less restrictive limitations on our NOL carryforwards. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation places restrictions upon the ability of certain equity interest holders to transfer their ownership interest in us. These restrictions are designed to provide us with the maximum assurance that another ownership change does not occur that could adversely impact our NOL carryforwards. Our net taxable income must be apportioned to various states based upon the income tax laws of the states in which we derive our revenue. Our NOL carryforwards will not always be available to offset taxable income apportioned to the various states. The states from which our refining, logistics, and retail revenues are derived are not the same states in which our NOLs were incurred; therefore, we expect to incur state tax liabilities in connection with our refining, logistics, and retail operations. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we analyzed projections for our future taxable income and the absence of objective negative evidence, such as a cumulative loss in recent years. As a result of this analysis we determined that we had sufficient positive evidence to release a majority of the valuation allowance against our federal net deferred tax assets and recognized a non-cash deferred tax benefit o f $277.7 million f or the year ended December 31, 2023. We retain a partial valuation allowance on a foreign tax credit and certain state deferred tax assets primarily as a result of apportionment factors from minimal activity in certain states impacting assessed likelihood of future realizability. We will continue to reassess whether the balance of the valuation allowance is appropriate on a periodic basis and, given the totality of the facts and circumstances, both positive and negative, will adjust the remaining valuation allowance in future periods if the evidence supports doing so. Should our assumptions change indicating the ability to realize these deferred tax assets, any tax benefits related to any reversal of the valuation allowance as of December 31, 2024, will be recognized as a reduction of income tax expense. Income tax expense (benefit) consisted of the following (in thousands):
