INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 22.4 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a tax expense of 24.0 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Compared to the U.S. statutory rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the effective tax rate was increased by state taxes, foreign taxes and nondeductible expenses partially offset by research and development tax credits, return to provision adjustments and other tax credits.

To the extent penalties and interest would be assessed on any underpayment of income tax, such accrued amounts would be classified as a component of income tax provision (benefit) in the financial statements consistent with the Company’s policy.
