Provision for (benefit from) income taxes

 $11,272  $11,747  $(5,220) $(11,516)
Effective tax rate  (12.9)%  20.8%  2.9%  23.9%

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased to (12.9)% and 2.9% from 20.8% and 23.9% respectively, when compared to the same period in 2019. This change was primarily due to the goodwill impairment and the investment in affiliates impairment which is discrete to the three months ended March 31, 2020 and resulted in no discrete tax benefit and the second goodwill impairment which is discrete to the three months ended September 30, 2020 and resulted in no discrete tax benefit. See Note 4 for discussion of the impairment charges.
