Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Our quarterly provision for income taxes is based on an estimated effective annual income tax rate. Our quarterly provision for income taxes also includes the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, if any, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur. We recorded a tax benefit of $1.1 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. We recorded a tax benefit of $1.8 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The benefits for all periods were primarily attributable to the tax benefit from the amortization of our acquisition-related deferred tax liabilities partially offset by tax provisions for our foreign operations and state minimum income taxes. Our tax benefit for income taxes for the periods presented differ from the 21% U.S. Federal statutory rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, primarily due to maintaining a valuation allowance for most of our deferred tax assets, which primarily consist of net operating loss carryforwards. Our tax positions are subject to audits by multiple tax jurisdictions. We believe that we have provided adequate reserves for uncertain tax positions for all tax years still open for assessment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively, we did not recognize any material interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Recording deferred tax assets is appropriate when realization of these assets is more likely than not. Assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets is dependent upon several factors including historical financial results. The deferred tax assets have been offset by valuation allowances. In the future we may release valuation allowances and recognize deferred tax assets in certain of our foreign subsidiaries depending on the achievement of future profitability in the relevant jurisdictions. Any release of valuation allowances could have the effect of decreasing the income tax provision in the period the valuation allowance is released. We continue to monitor the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets, including those for which a valuation allowance is recorded. There can be no assurance that we will generate profits in the future periods enabling us to fully realize our deferred tax assets. The timing of recording a valuation allowance or the reversal of such valuation allowance is subject to objective and subjective factors that cannot be readily predicted in advance. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to the tax deprecation methods for qualified improvement property. We are currently analyzing the impact of these changes and therefore, an estimate of the impact on income taxes, if any, is not yet available.
