Wilcox Corporation reported the following results for its first three years of operation:

2017 income (before income taxes) $ 300,000

2018 loss (before income taxes) (2,700,000)

2019 income (before income taxes) 3,000,000

There were no permanent or temporary differences during these three years. Assume a corporate tax rate of 30% for 2017 and 2018, and 40% for 2019.
