NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES
We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” We recorded no adjustments to our unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2016 and 2015. At December 31, 2015, we had $0.1 million in liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. Included in this liability amount is approximately $20,000 of accrued interest, net of federal income tax benefits, and $6,000 for the related penalties recorded in income tax expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We expect to reduce the reserve balance to zero over the next twelve months due to statute expirations.
Valuation Allowance (Deferred Taxes)
For financial reporting purposes, we recorded a valuation allowance of $2.8 million as of March 31, 2016 to offset a portion of the deferred tax assets related to the state net operating loss carryforwards. We regularly review our financial forecasts in an effort to determine our ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes. Accordingly, the valuation allowance is adjusted periodically based on our estimate of the benefit the company will receive from such carryforwards.
