Note 9 — Income Taxes

 

For interim income tax reporting, we are required to estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to year-to-date pre-tax income/loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded income tax from continuing operations of $0.0 million on a loss of $0.5 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded income tax of $0.0 million on a loss of $2.1 million. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a valuation allowance on various deferred tax assets.

 

During July 2019, the Company received an income tax refund of approximately $1.1 million related to the Tax Reform Act’s elimination of corporate alternative minimum tax and the ability to receive refunds of AMT credit carryovers. Another $1.1 million is still receivable over a period of three years, in 2020 through 2022.

 

We accrue for the effects of uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest. Our historical liability was assumed by the buyer of the foreign entities in March 2019; there is no remaining liability as of September 30, 2019.

 

We file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions which are subject to review by various U.S and state taxing authorities. Our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2016 through 2019, and certain state returns from 2013 to present, are open to examination.
