Income tax expense is provided on an interim basis based upon our estimate of the annual effective income tax rate, adjusted each quarter for discrete items. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, our effective tax rate was 17.2% and 21.1%, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, our effective tax rate was 19.1% and 21.0%, respectively. Impacting our effective tax rate in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, was the settlement of an uncertain tax position. An income tax benefit of $4.1 million was recorded in June 2019, including $1.0 million of related interest expense, which reduced our effective tax rate by 3.8% and 2.0% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.
