Income tax benefit and the effective income tax rate were as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2019			2018
Income tax benefit	$	(10,254	)	$	(8,644	)
Effective income tax rate	34.6		%	22.1		%

The tax provisions for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were computed using the estimated effective income tax rates applicable to each of the domestic and foreign taxable jurisdictions for the full fiscal year and were adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the periods presented. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to a discrete tax benefit for the favorable settlement of a state income tax audit, which was partially offset by a discrete tax expense for tax reserves recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform Act) in December 2017, the Company is subject to US taxation of its foreign subsidiary earnings considered global intangible low-taxed income as well as limitations

on the deductibility of executive compensation, which are included in income tax benefit in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the periods presented above. The Company continues to evaluate new guidance and legislation as it is issued.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits and associated penalties and interest increased by $1,120 to $14,518, primarily related to state income tax reserves recorded in income tax liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
