Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | 7. Income Taxes On March 27, 2020, the President of the U.S. signed into law the CARES Act. The CARES Act provides relief to corporate taxpayers by permitting a five year carryback of 2018-2020 net operating losses (“NOLs”), removing the 80% limitation on the carryback of those NOLs, increasing the Section 163(j) 30% limitation on interest expense deductibility to 50% of adjusted taxable income for 2019 and 2020, and accelerates refunds for minimum tax credit carryforwards, along with a few other provisions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, no material adjustments were required to the income tax benefit as a result of the enactment of the CARES Act. On July 28, 2020, the U.S. Treasury Department released final regulations, which are effective January 1, 2021, and proposed regulations with guidance on the business interest expense limitation under Section 163(j). Currently, we are in the process of evaluating the effect of these regulations on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 7. Income Taxes (continued) Benefit for income taxes is as follows:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the current provision (benefit) for state income taxes shown above includes regular state income tax, provisions for uncertain state income tax positions, the impact of state tax law changes and other similar adjustments. Our estimated annual effective rate for 2020 includes the impact of permanent tax differences, limits on deductible compensation, valuation allowances and other permanent items. We considered both positive and negative evidence in our determination of the need for valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Information evaluated includes our financial position and results of operations for the current and preceding years, the availability of deferred tax liabilities and tax carrybacks, as well as an evaluation of currently available information about future years. Valuation allowances are reflective of our quarterly analysis of the four sources of taxable income, including the calculation of the reversal of existing tax assets and liabilities, the impact of financing activities and our quarterly results. Based on our analysis, we currently believe that it is more-likely-than-not that a portion of our federal deferred tax assets will not be able to be utilized and we estimate the valuation allowance to be recorded during 2020 to be approximately $7.0 million. We have also determined it was more-likely-than-not that a portion of our state deferred tax assets would not be able to be utilized and we estimate the valuation allowance associated with these state deferred tax assets to be recorded during 2020 will be approximately $3.7 million. We will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence on a quarterly basis in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to our deferred tax assets. Changes in positive and negative evidence, including differences between estimated and actual results and additional guidance for various provisions of the CARES Act, could result in changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets that could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Changes in existing tax laws could also affect actual tax results and the realization of deferred tax assets over time. The tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $3.0 million (7% benefit on pre-tax loss) and the tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $5.8 million (14% benefit on pre-tax loss). For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the effective tax rate is less than the statutory tax rate primarily due to the impact of the valuation allowances. LSB and certain of its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the 2016-2019 years remain open for all purposes of examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other major tax jurisdictions.
