INCOME TAXES
NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES
During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized income tax expense of $46.2 million on $145.3 million of loss from continuing operations before income tax, compared to $160.9 million of tax benefit on $964.6 million of loss from continuing operations before income tax during the comparable 2015 period. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company completed a legal entity restructuring. The restructuring resulted in the Company recording a deferred charge of $395.1 million in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Within the third quarter, the Company recorded net discrete tax expense of $42.6 million primarily related to the amortization of the aforementioned deferred charge, which was partially offset by a favorable return to provision adjustment resulting from filing U.S. federal income tax returns. The tax benefit for the comparable 2015 period was primarily related to benefits resulting from losses from continued operations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $627.8 million on $518.3 million of loss from continuing operations before income tax, compared to $340.5 million of tax benefit on $1,084.6 million of loss from continuing operations before income tax during the comparable 2015 period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company completed a legal entity restructuring as part of its continuing integration of our business. This resulted in the realization of a $635.0 million tax benefit arising from an outside basis difference, which was partly offset by a valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets. The tax benefit for the comparable 2015 period was primarily related to losses from continued operations combined with benefits resulting from the expected realization of deferred tax assets for certain components of our AMS business.
