The CARES Act enacted on March 27, 2020 permits corporate taxpayers to accelerate the full amount of its alternative minimum tax credits. The Company filed a claim for refund and received a $3.0 million refund in 2020 for which the benefit had been recognized in 2017. An additional refund of alternative minimum taxes in the amount of $0.7 million was received during the year ended December 31, 2021 for which a tax benefit was recorded.
