INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
For interim income tax reporting the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies it to its year-to-date ordinary income. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. The Company’s effective income tax rate was a benefit of 51.1% and 22.0% on loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets, net of applicable reserves, related to net operating losses, tax credit carryforwards and certain temporary differences. The Company recognizes future tax benefits to the extent that realization of such benefit is more likely than not. Otherwise, a valuation allowance is applied.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company reversed $13 million of unrecognized tax benefit upon the resolution of a tax accounting method issue related to its customer loyalty program.
