The Tax Act was enacted into law on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act included a reduction in the U.S. federal statutory corporate income tax rate (the “Tax Rate”) from 35% to 21% and introduced new limitations on certain business deductions. As a result, we recognized a non-cash tax provision expense impact of $32.5 million, primarily related to the re-measurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the reduced tax rate. Deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2018 include state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $43.5 million expiring at various times between 2019 and 2037. At September 30, 2018, we recorded a valuation allowance of $3.6 million which decreased from the $8.5 million at October 1, 2017 primarily due to the release of the valuation allowance on state tax credits and net operating losses. We believe that it is more likely than not that the remaining net operating loss and credit carry-forwards will not be realized and that all other deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable income or alternative tax strategies. The major jurisdictions in which the Company files income tax returns include the United States and states in which we operate that impose an income tax. The federal statutes of limitations have not expired for fiscal years 2015 and forward. The statutes of limitations for California and Texas, which constitute the Company’s major state tax jurisdictions, have not expired for fiscal years 2014 and forward and 2013 and forward, respectively.
