On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits federal income tax net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid federal income taxes. We generated significant NOLs during 2018 and 2019 and filed carryback claims for these losses to the preceding five years.
During 2020, we received federal income tax refunds corresponding to the 2018 NOL carryback leaving approximately $11.4 million remaining to be refunded in connection with the 2019 NOL carryback. In conjunction with the remaining income tax refund claim, we received a notice from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) on March 8, 2023, stating that our income tax returns for 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019 were selected for examination. Furthermore and as is customary for income tax refunds of this magnitude, the IRS is required to review the refund claim and provide a report to the Joint Committee on Taxation of the U.S. Congress (“JCT”). As a result of the submission of the refund claim to the JCT, the IRS has effectively completed their review of the income tax returns for 2015, 2016 and 2017. Our request for refund was formally submitted to the JCT for their review during the second quarter of 2025 which was concluded favorably with the JCT concurring with the IRS’s conclusions. As of November 8, 2025, we are awaiting receipt of our refund claim; however, due to the shut down of the federal government which began on October 1, 2025, we are not able to validate the amount or timing of the receipt of the refund claim.
