Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes
The Company evaluates the balance of deferred tax assets that will be realized based on the premise that the Company is more likely than not to realize deferred tax benefits through the generation of future taxable income. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not anticipate that unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months.
Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is estimated to be $4,965,000, approximately 686% of the income before income taxes. Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was estimated to be $830,000, or approximately 19% of loss before income taxes.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and among other things, provides tax relief to businesses. Tax provisions of the CARES Act include the deferral of certain payroll taxes, relief for retaining employees, and other provisions, including allowing net operating losses to be carried back five years versus an indefinite carryforward. The Company has filed with the Internal Revenue Service to carry back net operating losses incurred in 2018 and 2019 under this new law, resulting in an income tax refund of $6,155,000 of which $466,000 has been received in the second quarter of 2020 and the remaining is expected to be received by September 30th, 2020. An income tax benefit of $5,638,000 was realized in the first quarter of 2020. The income tax benefit consists of the reversal of the full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets in the United States for approximately $3,267,000. It also consists of a rate benefit of $2,371,000 based on the losses being carried back to years where the Company paid tax at 34% compared to the valuation of the losses being recorded at the 21% current U.S. statutory tax rate.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., Mexico, Canada and various state jurisdictions. The Company is not subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2016, not subject to Mexican income tax examinations by Mexican authorities for years prior to 2014 and not subject to Canadian tax examinations by Canadian authorities for years prior to 2018.
