The provision for income taxes is shown in the tables below:

Income tax benefit$(3,850)$(905)
Income tax benefit increased $3.0 million to $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to $0.9 million income tax benefit in the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to an increase in the pre-tax loss in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022.
The Company’s effective tax rate was 14.6% before discrete items as of March 31, 2023 and 12.0% as of March 31, 2022. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in the refunds of excess deferred federal income taxes.
The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $14.0 million and $16.2 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, is $4.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of tax benefits that, if recognized, would result in an adjustment to the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly within the next 12 months.
