| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $219.4 million and $210.7 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized income tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. Gross unrecognized income tax benefits as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 include certain indirect favorable effects that relate to other tax jurisdictions of approximately $50.7 million and $44.9 million, respectively. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $50.3 million and $51.0 million, respectively, of accrued or deferred taxes related to uncertain income tax positions connected with ongoing income tax audits in various jurisdictions that it expects to settle or pay in the next 12 months. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $29.9 million and $28.4 million, respectively. Generally, tax years 2014 through 2019 remain open to examination by taxing authorities in the United States and certain other foreign tax jurisdictions. The Company and its subsidiaries are routinely examined by tax authorities in the United States and in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2020, a number of income tax examinations in foreign jurisdictions are ongoing. The Company maintains a valuation allowance to fully reserve against its net deferred tax assets in the United States and certain other foreign jurisdictions. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company assessed the likelihood that its deferred tax assets would be recovered from estimated future taxable income and available tax planning strategies and determined that all adjustments to the valuation allowances were appropriate. In making this assessment, all available evidence was considered including the current economic climate, as well as reasonable tax planning strategies. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its remaining net deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance, in future years. |
