Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

10. INCOME TAXES

We calculate income tax expense based upon an annual effective tax rate forecast, including estimates and assumptions. We recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $487 thousand and $550 thousand for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021. We recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $181 thousand for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020. We have not recorded tax benefits on our loss before income taxes because we have provided for a full valuation allowance that offsets potential deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carry forwards, reflecting our inability to use such loss carry forwards.

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was negative 12.4% and 0.4%, respectively.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. The Act contains several new or changed income tax provisions, including but not limited to the following: increased limitation threshold for determining deductible interest expense; class life changes to qualified improvements (in general, from 39 years to 15 years); and the ability to carry back net operating losses incurred from tax years 2018 through 2020 up to the five preceding tax years. The Company has evaluated the new tax provisions of the CARES Act and determined the impact to be either immaterial or not applicable.
