Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
The deferred tax liabilities acquired with the acquisition of CJWS provided a source of future taxable income which allowed the Company to recognize a tax benefit on a portion of the long-lived asset impairment recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as well as the Company's other deferred tax assets, and is the primary driver of the tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the same period of 2019, we filed an amended 2007 federal tax return to claim an income tax refund from the carry-back and recovery of workers’ compensation expenses that were components of our Net Operating Losses ("NOLs") generated over the past 10 years.
The issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock as part of the acquisition of CJWS resulted in an ownership change pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382 on March 9, 2020. The Section 382 limitation impacts the Company's ability to utilize certain pre-acquisition tax attributes, including NOLs. The projected impact of the ownership change is to reduce the Company's available Federal NOLs from $900.7 million as of December 31, 2019 to an estimated $367 million as of September 30, 2020, which begin to expire in 2032. The Company also has $336.8 million ($19.7 million net deferred tax asset) of NOLs for state income tax purposes, which begin to expire in 2020. Federal NOLs generated after 2017 are carried forward indefinitely but usage is limited to 80% of taxable income, while NOLs generated prior to 2018 continue to be carried forward for 20 years and have no limitation on utilization. The annual utilization limits for state income tax purposes vary on a state-by-state basis.
We provide a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2020, a valuation allowance of $138.4 million was recorded against deferred tax assets for all jurisdictions that are not expected to be realized.
