INCOME TAXES

14.INCOME TAXES

In general, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability on the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate may change from period-to-period based on recurring and non-recurring factors including the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation and state and local income taxes.



The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 28.0%. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of disallowed stock based compensation expense, state income tax expense and the release of certain state income tax reserves.



The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company recognizes those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and establishes tax reserves for uncertain tax positions that do not meet this threshold. Interest and penalties associates with income tax matters are included in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations.
