Income Taxes Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 26.8% for the first nine months of 2021 and 25.6% for the first nine months of 2020. The Company’s income tax expense was $62.3 million for the first nine months of 2021 and $38.9 million for the first nine months of 2020. The increase in income tax expense was primarily attributable to improved financial results during the first nine months of 2021 compared to the first nine months of 2020.

The Company had uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of $2.8 million on October 1, 2021 and $2.6 million on December 31, 2020, all of which would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate if recognized. While it is expected the amount of uncertain tax positions may change in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect such change would have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Prior tax years beginning in year 2007 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, and various tax years beginning in year 1998 remain open to examination by certain state taxing authorities.
