17. Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The income tax benefit during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was generated as a result of the recognition of net operating loss carryback under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and generates a refund of income taxes paid for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company records the effect of an enacted change in a tax law in the period that includes the enactment date in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.

The tax relief measures under the CARES Act for businesses include a five-year net operating loss carryback, suspension of annual deduction limitation of 80% of taxable income from net operating losses generated in a tax year beginning after December 31, 2017, changes in the deductibility of interest, acceleration of alternative minimum tax credit refunds, payroll tax relief, and a technical correction to allow accelerated deductions for qualified improvement property.

The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets other than a deferred tax liability arising from merger with resTORbio due to the Company’s history of losses as of September 30, 2020.  The deferred tax liability recorded relates to the basis difference associated with IPR&D.
