Under the 2017 Tax Act enacted into law on December 22, 2017, beginning in 2018, domestic corporations who are U.S. exporters with no foreign operations may be eligible for a deduction under the foreign derived intangible income provisions. We qualify for this deduction and recognized a current cash tax benefit of $170,000 in the first nine months of 2019 ($98,000 of such current cash tax benefit is related to 2018).
