Income Taxes	10. Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate was 29.7% and (46.7)% for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The most significant items contributing to the difference between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the six-month period ended March 31, 2020 were tax expense of $13.3 million related to nondeductible costs, tax expense of $8.8 million related to foreign residual income, and tax expense of $5.4 million related to state income tax, partially offset by a tax benefit of $15.2 million related to income tax credits and incentives. All of these items are expected to have a continuing impact on the effective tax rate for the remainder of the fiscal year. The most significant items contributing to the difference between the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the six-month period ended March 31, 2019 were a $38.1 million benefit related to the release of a valuation allowance on foreign tax credits and a $11.5 million benefit related to income tax credits and incentives, partially offset by state income tax expense of $5.8 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, a valuation allowance in the amount of $38.1 million related to foreign tax credits was released due to sufficient positive evidence obtained during the quarter. The positive evidence included the issuance of regulations during the quarter related to The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) and forecasting the utilization of the foreign tax credits within the foreseeable future. The Company evaluated the new positive evidence against any negative evidence to determine the valuation allowance was no longer needed. In March 2020, the U.S. federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). The Company does not expect there to be any significant benefits to the income tax provision as a result of the CARES Act. As a result of internal restructuring and the sale of the Management Services business during the quarter, the Company recorded $62.3 million of tax expense in net income from discontinued operations which included a $52.0 million reduction of tax attributes to related goodwill and intangibles and the current U.S. federal and state tax impacts of the sale. The Company is utilizing the annual effective tax rate method under ASC 740 to compute its interim tax provision. The Company’s effective tax rate fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to various factors including the change in the mix of global income and expenses, outcomes of administrative audits, changes in the assessment of valuation allowances due to management’s consideration of new positive or negative evidence during the quarter, and changes in enacted tax laws. Many international legislative and regulatory bodies have proposed legislation that could significantly impact how our international business activities are taxed. These proposed changes could have a material impact on the Company’s income tax expense and deferred tax balances. The Company is currently under tax audit in several jurisdictions including the U.S. and believes the outcomes which are reasonably possible within the next twelve months, including lapses in statutes of limitations, could result in future adjustments, but will not result in a material change in the liability for uncertain tax positions. Generally, the Company does not provide for U.S. taxes or foreign withholding taxes on gross book-tax differences in its non-U.S. subsidiaries because such basis differences of approximately $1.7 billion are able to and intended to be reinvested indefinitely. If these basis differences were distributed, foreign tax credits could become available under current law to partially or fully reduce the resulting U.S. income tax liability. There may also be additional U.S. or foreign income tax liability upon repatriation, although the calculation of such additional taxes is not practicable.
