Income Taxes
For the three months ended April 30, 2020, the provision for income taxes was approximately $521,000 on a pre-tax net loss of $6.1 million. For the three months ended April 30, 2019, the provision for income taxes was approximately $55,000 on a pre-tax net loss of $2.4 million. The variance between our actual provision and the expected provision based on the U.S. statutory rate is due primarily to recording valuation allowances against the increase in our deferred tax assets in the respective periods, plus the effect of foreign withholding taxes.
The Company files U.S. federal and state income tax returns as well as separate returns for its foreign subsidiaries within their local jurisdictions. The Company's U.S. federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities for fiscal years ended January 31, 2017 through 2020. In addition, the Company's tax returns filed in foreign jurisdictions are generally subject to examination for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2015 through 2020.
The Company has determined that the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are not deemed to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States as of April 30, 2020. Furthermore, the Company has concluded that any deferred taxes with respect to the undistributed foreign earnings would be immaterial. Therefore, the Company has not recorded a deferred tax liability associated with the undistributed foreign earnings as of April 30, 2020.
For the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not recognize any tax expense or benefit related to uncertain tax positions.
