In accordance with the provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”), corporate taxpayers were eligible to treat prior AMT credit carryforwards as refundable. Accordingly, we elected to treat our prior AMT credit carryforward balance of $1.5 million as refundable, and as a result, 50% of the $1.5 million refundable balance was expected to be received in each our fiscal years 2021 and 2022, respectively. We received our first 50% installment totaling $746,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

In accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act, 100% of AMT credit carryforwards for tax years beginning in the 2019 tax year were immediately refundable. Accordingly, we claimed credit for the remaining 50% installment of our refundable AMT credit carryforward in May 2020. We received our remaining 50% installment plus interest totaling $764,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
