Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	*13.* Income Taxes The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of federal and state taxes, as applicable, in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that it expects to achieve for the full year. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments as necessary. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under ASC 740, the effects of changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period which the new legislation is enacted. The CARES Act made various tax law changes including among other things (i) increased the limitation under IRC Section 163(j) for 2019 and 2020 to permit additional expensing of interest (ii) enacted a technical correction so that qualified improvement property can be immediately expensed under IRC Section 168(k) and (iii) made modifications to the federal net operating loss rules including permitting federal net operating losses incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to the five preceding taxable years in order to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes (iv) enhanced recoverability of AMT tax credit carryforwards. As a result of the CARES Act, the Company recorded a discrete income tax benefit of approximately $19,000 related to a reduction in 2019 state and local taxes as a result of increased deductions and recorded a balance sheet reclassification to reflect an income tax receivable of $0.7 million related to the accelerated recoverability of AMT credit carryforwards with a corresponding reduction to the Company’s deferred tax assets. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we incurred a pre-tax income/(loss) of $27.2 million and ($4.3) million, respectively, and a corresponding income tax (provision)/benefit of ($6.3) million and $1.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we incurred pre-tax income/(loss) of $15.6 million and ($2.1) million, respectively, and a corresponding income tax (provision)/benefit of ($3.6) million and $0.6 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 23.2% compared to 26.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily as a result of non-deductible executive compensation under IRC Section 162(m) and a non-taxable adjustment for the fair market value of the Warrant. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 23.2% compared to 28.6% in the comparable prior period. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily as a result of non-deductible executive compensation under IRC Section 162(m) and a non-taxable adjustment for the fair market value of the Warrant.
