Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES	For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, our provision for income tax was $0. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits, which are, on a more likely than not basis, not expected to be realized in accordance with ASC guidance for income taxes. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we recorded a valuation allowance of $4,743,000 and $5,580,000, respectively for the portion of the deferred tax assets that we do not expect to be realized. The valuation allowance on our net deferred taxes decreased by $837,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to U.S. deferred tax assets incurred in the current period that could be realized. Management believes that based on the available information, it is more likely than not that the remaining U.S. deferred tax assets will not be realized, such that a valuation allowance is required against U.S. deferred tax assets. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2020

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, our provision for income tax was $0. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits, which are, on a more likely than not basis, not expected to be realized in accordance with ASC guidance for income taxes. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we recorded a valuation allowance of $4,743,000 and $5,580,000, respectively for the portion of the deferred tax assets that we do not expect to be realized. The valuation allowance on our net deferred taxes decreased by $837,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to U.S. deferred tax assets incurred in the current period that could be realized. Management believes that based on the available information, it is more likely than not that the remaining U.S. deferred tax assets will not be realized, such that a valuation allowance is required against U.S. deferred tax assets. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.
