Pending IRS refund claim
The Company was able to carry back its 2020 federal income tax loss to its 2018 tax year and filed a refund claim with the IRS for a total of $5.5 million. This claim is pending and the Company has recorded a receivable to other current assets in connection with this matter.
Net Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
The income tax accounting process to determine the deferred tax liabilities involves estimating all temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the period in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. The Company estimated the current exposure by assessing the temporary differences and computing the provision for income taxes by applying the estimated effective tax rate to income.
