INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
Income taxes for the three months ended February 28, 2021 included $5.3 million of net discrete tax expense consisting principally of the following: (i) $11.4 million of deferred state tax expense directly related to our December 2020 acquisition of FONA, (ii) $4.5 million of tax benefits associated with the release of a valuation allowance due to a change in judgment about realizability of deferred tax assets, and (iii) $1.2 million of tax benefits from the reversal of certain reserves for unrecognized tax benefits associated with the resolution of tax uncertainties.

Income taxes for the three months ended February 29, 2020 included $10.4 million of net discrete tax benefits consisting principally of the following: (i) $9.9 million of tax benefits associated with an intra-entity asset transfer that occurred during the first quarter, (ii) $1.8 million of excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation, and (iii) $1.4 million of expense related to the revaluation of deferred tax liabilities resulting from enacted legislation in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions.
Other than additions for current year tax positions and the reversal of unrecognized tax benefits noted above, there were no significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended February 28, 2021.
As of February 28, 2021, we believe the reasonably possible total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that could increase or decrease in the next 12 months as a result of various statute expirations, audit closures, and/or tax settlements would not be material to our consolidated financial statements.
