Income Taxes Income Taxes 

Income tax benefit related to continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $0.7 million compared with an income tax expense related to continuing operations of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change in the income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared with the income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is the result of lower taxable income, primarily resulting from a net increase in strategic costs related to the ESOL acquisition, partially offset by a decreased income tax benefit recognized for stock-based compensation vesting during the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019.

An income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on technical merits, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes. The reserve for uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2020 was $4.5 million, including interest and penalties.  Within the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that $0.3 million unrecognized income tax benefits will be recognized upon settlement of tax examinations and the expiration of various statutes of limitations.
