The
2017
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the
“2017
Tax Act”) was signed into law on
December 22, 2017.  
The
2017
Tax Act made a significant number of changes to the existing U.S. Internal Revenue Code, including a permanent reduction of the U.S. corporate income tax rate from
35%
to
21%
for tax years beginning after
December 31, 2017.
In accordance with SEC Staff Bulletin
No.
118,
fiscal year end companies were required to determine the appropriate blended rate to apply based on their respective fiscal year end dates. Therefore, instead of applying a
35.0%
federal tax rate for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2018,
the Company applied a blended federal rate of
31.5%.
This blended rate was applied to fiscal
2018,
resulting in a tax benefit of approximately
$1.9
million. As a result, the Company recorded a provisional income tax benefit of approximately
$430,000
related to the re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from the reduction of the federal corporate tax rate for the year ended
March 31, 2018,
which was reconciled during the year ended
March 31, 2019. 
 
In fiscal
2020
the Company recognized a stock compensation shortfall charge of approximately
$322,000,
and recognized a
one
-time benefit of approximately
$93,000,
related to a return to provision true up of the fiscal
2019
income tax provision. In fiscal
2019
the Company recognized a stock compensation windfall benefit of approximately
$176,000,
and recognized a
one
-time charge of approximately
$8,000
related to a return to provision true up of the fiscal
2018
income tax provision. In fiscal
2018
the Company also recognized a stock compensation windfall benefit of approximately
$1.1
million, and recognized a
one
-time net benefit of approximately
$150,000
related to a return to provision true up of the fiscal
2017
income tax provision.
