Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2021 resulted in a benefit of $0.3 million. The federal portion was fully offset by an adjustment to the valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets resulting in an effective tax rate of 1.5%, which is fully attributable to the State of Texas. In connection with the Juniper Transactions, we recorded an adjustment of $0.7 million to “Paid-in capital” (see Note 3) attributable to certain state deferred income tax effects associated with the change in legal entity structure. Our net deferred income tax liability balance of $0.4 million as of March 31, 2021 is also fully attributable to the State of Texas and primarily related to property.
We recognized a federal and state income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $1.1 million. The federal and state tax expense was offset by an adjustment to the valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.7% which was fully attributable to the State of Texas. The provision also reflected a reclassification of $1.2 million from deferred tax assets to current income taxes receivable for certain refundable alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards that were later received in June 2020.
We had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2021. There were no interest and penalty charges recognized during the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Tax years from 2015 forward remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject; however, net operating losses originating in prior years are subject to examination when utilized.
