Note 7 — Income Taxes

 

The tax provision, a benefit of $3.6 million for the current quarter, included a $2.7 million benefit primarily for the release of reserves of unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax audit settlements. The effective tax rate was 16.5% for the first half of 2020, compared to 22.8% for the first half of 2019. Excluding the $2.7 million benefit, the adjusted 2020 year-to-date tax rate would have been 21.9%. Our underlying estimated effective income tax rate is expected to remain at 23% for the year.
