INCOME TAXES
INCOME TAXES	12. INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 reflects a benefit of 6.9 percent, compared to a benefit of 26.7 percent for the first quarter of the prior year. Historically, the Company has determined its quarterly income tax expense (benefit) under ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) by computing an estimated annual effective tax rate and applying the rate to the current period income (loss) and adjusting for discrete items including changes to prior period estimates. However, the Company recorded income taxes for the first quarter of 2021, using the discrete method, provided for under ASC 740-270-30-18, by applying the actual year-to-date effective tax rate to its current period pre-tax loss for the quarter. The Company believes at this time that the discrete method provides a more reliable estimate of its income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 because small changes in the projected annual income resulted in significant changes to the estimated annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 reflects a net discrete provision totaling $1.2 million compared to a net discrete provision totaling $22.8 million for the first quarter of 2020. The effective rate for both the first quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2020 include discrete adjustments related to share based compensation of $1.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Additionally, the effective rate for the first quarter of 2020 reflects tax impacts from the provisions provided for in the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Securities Act of 2020 (“CARES Act”), including the revaluation impact of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities that were recognized in 2020, partially offset by the beneficial revaluation of net operating losses related to tax year 2019 which the Company carried back to the 2014 tax year.
