Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate before remeasurement for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is based on the Company’s estimated full year effective tax rate, comprised of expected statutory tax provision, offset by foreign rate differential and changes in valuation allowance. The Company’s income tax provision of $3.0 million and $18.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, included a tax benefit of $3.3 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, related to the remeasurement of foreign income tax accounts.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States enacted the CARES Act. The CARES Act contains numerous tax provisions including a provision that provides for the acceleration of refunds of previously generated AMT credits. The Company has requested accelerated refunds of approximately $24 million from the IRS and has adjusted its current and deferred tax asset balances accordingly. The Company continues to evaluate the implications of the remaining provisions of the CARES Act.
