Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had losses of $10.5 million before taxes and recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (30.5)%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to the current and anticipated tax impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on our business, partially offset by the net impact of foreign operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we earned $21.0 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $3.8 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 18.1%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations, the reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities as a result of restructuring specific aspects of our global financing arrangements and higher withholding taxes related to transactions with and amongst various foreign subsidiaries.
As of March 31, 2022, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $5.5 million from December 31, 2021. With limited exception, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax audits for years through 2017, state and local income tax audits for years through 2015 or non-U.S. income tax audits for years through 2014. We are currently under examination for various years in Canada, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, the U.S. and Venezuela.
It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the effective tax rate will be impacted by the resolution of some or all of the matters audited by various taxing authorities. It is also reasonably possible that we will have the statute of limitations
close in various taxing jurisdictions within the next 12 months. As such, we estimate we could record a reduction in our tax expense of approximately $15 million within the next 12 months.
