Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 0.6% and 0.9%, respectively, which resulted in an income tax provision of $(3,000) and $(4,000), respectively. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 0.9% and 1.1%, respectively, which resulted in an income tax provision of $(6,000) and $(7,000), respectively. The tax provision is due to state tax payments made with extensions filed.

 

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized in full or in part. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the evidence available, it is more-likely-than-not that such assets will not be realized. In making the assessment under the more-likely-than-not standard, appropriate consideration must be given to all positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry-forward periods by jurisdiction, unitary versus stand-alone state tax filings, our experience with loss carryforwards expiring unutilized, and all tax planning alternatives that may be available. Based on the significant negative evidence of cumulative losses and history of loss carryforwards expiring unutilized, the positive evidence of forecasts of future profitability was not sufficient to overcome the negative evidence. As a result, we determined it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019; accordingly, we recorded a full valuation allowance.
