Note 7. Income Taxes

In October 2019, the Internal Revenue Service concluded its audit of the September 30, 2015 tax year with no changes. The Federal and state filings remain subject to examination by tax authorities for tax periods ending after September 30, 2015. 

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (H.R. 748) (the “CARES Act”). Among the changes to the U.S. federal income tax rules, the CARES Act restored net operating loss carryback rules that were eliminated by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modified the limit on the deduction for net interest expense, and accelerated the timeframe for refunds of AMT credit carryovers. From a federal tax reporting standpoint, the Company anticipates a federal tax net operating loss (“NOL”) for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020 and plans to carry back the NOL pursuant to the provisions of the CARES Act. As a result of the federal tax NOL carryback, the Company estimates a cash tax benefit of approximately $605,000, with an income statement benefit of approximately $82,000.
