Provision for Income Taxes Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $4,559,000 in the first three months of 2020 and $3,963,000 in the first three months of 2019. The effective tax rate of 26% in the first three months of 2020 was higher than the Company's statutory rate of 21% primarily due to nondeductible expenses, state taxes, the distribution of the Company’s worldwide earnings, and tax expense associated with Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) provisions. This incremental tax expense was offset in part by the reversal of tax reserves associated with uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate of 26% in the first three months of 2019 was higher than the Company's statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to nondeductible expenses, the distribution of the Company’s worldwide earnings, state taxes, and tax expense associated with GILTI. This incremental tax expense was offset in part by a decrease in tax related to the net excess income tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangements.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law and provides a substantial stimulus and assistance package intended to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including tax relief. The enactment of the CARES Act did not have a material impact on the Company’s provision for income taxes in the first three months of 2020. The Company continues to monitor any effects that may result from the new law.
