Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes U.S. Legislation The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“Rescue Act”) was signed into law on March 11, 2021 and includes additional COVID-19 related tax relief for certain individuals and businesses. The enactment of the Rescue Act did not result in any material adjustments to our income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 or September 30, 2021. The Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA") was signed into law on August 16, 2022. The IRA includes climate and energy provisions and introduces a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax, among other items. The enactment of the IRA did not result in any adjustments to our income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. We continue to evaluate the impact of this law on our operations and currently don't believe the legislation will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Effective Income Tax Rate and Income Tax Provision For interim tax reporting, we estimate one annual effective tax rate for tax jurisdictions not subject to a valuation allowance and apply that rate to the year-to-date ordinary income/(loss). Tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur. State income taxes, foreign earnings subject to higher tax rates and non-deductible expenses increase the Company's effective income tax rate compared to the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%. Research and development credits decrease the Company's effective tax rate compared to the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%. Our effective income tax rate was 27.9% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. In addition to the above referenced items, the three-month period was unfavorably impacted by accruals for unresolved controversy and enacted state law changes. The nine-month period was favorably impacted by share price accretion in equity compensation, and unfavorably impacted by accruals for unresolved controversy, nonrecurring intercompany dividend distributions and enacted state law changes. Our effective income tax rate was 30.2% and 31.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. In addition to the above referenced items, the Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was unfavorably impacted by adjustments to specific U.S. uncertain tax positions. The Company's effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was unfavorably impacted by legislative and administrative changes to foreign enacted statutes and accruals for unresolved controversy. There was no significant change in our valuation allowances for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Net increases in unrecognized tax positions of $3.8 million and $12.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $6.5 million and $14.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, were primarily related to interest accruals on existing uncertain tax positions. We are not currently able to reasonably estimate the amount by which the liability for unrecognized tax positions may increase or decrease as a result of future tax controversy developments or resolution. Interest and penalties on tax assessments are included in Income tax provision on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The IRS completed its field examination of the U.S. federal income tax returns for the 2011-2014 tax years in the third quarter of 2020. As previously disclosed, the IRS has proposed to disallow, for the 2014 taxable year, the entirety of the deduction of the approximately $1.49 billion settlement payment made pursuant to the Settlement agreement (as defined in Note 18, “Commitments and Contingencies”) and the resulting reduction of our U.S. federal tax liability by approximately $525 million. We continue to believe that we have meritorious defenses to the proposed disallowance and have filed a protest with the IRS. The proposed disallowance is being reviewed by the IRS Independent Office of Appeals and we cannot predict the outcome of such review or when it will be concluded. It is possible that future developments in this matter could have a material impact on the Company's uncertain tax position balances and results of operations, including cash flows, within the next twelve months. There is no outstanding liability with respect to the one-time mandatory tax on previously deferred foreign earnings of foreign subsidiaries provision associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
