Note 18 - Income taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 the Company recorded no current or deferred income tax expense.
The Company’s effective tax rate of 0% differs from the United States federal statutory rate of 21% primarily because the Company’s losses have been fully offset by a valuation allowance due to uncertainty of realizing the tax benefit of net operating losses (“NOLs”) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and year ended December 31, 2019.
The Company’s deferred tax assets attributed to net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2027.
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Company continues to examine the impact that the CARES Act may have on its business but does not expect the impact to be material.
The ultimate realization of deferred taxes is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differenced become deductible. On the basis of management’s assessment, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax assets was recorded since it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company has no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions. We do not anticipate that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company does not have any significant uncertain tax positions. If incurred, the Company would classify interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense.
The Company’s income tax returns generally remain open for examination for three years from the date filed with each taxing jurisdiction.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company was a Limited Liability Company, taxed as a partnership. Thus, all of the Company’s income and losses flowed through to the owners. The company converted to a C-Corporation, subject to income tax on May 6, 2019, the date of the May Acquisitions.
