INCOME TAXES
NOTE 7 INCOME TAXES
Although in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 we anticipated using the discrete effective tax method to calculate income taxes for the remainder of the fiscal year, we used the estimated annual effective tax rate to calculate the income tax provision for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 as the estimated annual effective tax rate provides a reliable estimate. In calculating our estimated annual effective tax rate, we consider forecasted annual pre-tax income and estimated permanent book versus tax differences. Adjustments to the effective tax rate and estimates could occur during the year as information and assumptions change, including, but not limited to, changes to the forecasted amounts, estimates of permanent book versus tax differences, and changes to tax laws and rates.
Our income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $1.7 million and $(23.7) million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 9.0 percent and 29.4 percent, respectively. Our income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $(3.2) million and $(78.4) million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 7.6 percent and 23.3 percent, respectively. Effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0 percent for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily due to state and foreign income taxes, permanent non-deductible items and discrete adjustments. The discrete adjustments for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are primarily due to changes in our deferred state income tax rate, return to provision adjustments, and equity compensation.
For the next 12 months, we cannot predict with certainty whether we will achieve ultimate resolution of any uncertain tax positions associated with our U.S. and international operations that could result in increases or decreases of our unrecognized tax benefits. However, we do not expect these increases or decreases to have a material effect on our results of continuing operations or financial position.
