Note M – Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, plus or minus discrete items.

The Company’s provision for income taxes and effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is presented in the following table:
Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
2020201920202019
(Loss)/income before provision for income taxes$(23,345) $45,895  $(48,547) $91,747  
Income tax (benefit)/expense$(6,201) $9,784  $(13,602) $20,371  
Effective tax rate26.6 %21.3 %28.0 %22.2 %

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is primarily due to the tax benefit from the 2020 pre-tax loss in jurisdictions with higher tax rates, the tax benefit of the change in valuation of contingent considerations, and a partially offsetting increase in Global Intangible Low Taxed Income.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits, and interest and penalty expense are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. The unrecognized tax benefits have not changed for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from the prior period.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. for federal, state, and local purposes, and in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company's tax years 2017 through 2019 remain open to examination by most taxing authorities. During 2017, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") completed its audit of the Company's 2014 U.S. income tax return.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020, which includes significant corporate income tax and payroll tax provisions aimed at providing economic relief. The Company expects to receive favorable cash flow benefits related to the employee retention credit, employer payroll tax deferral, and accelerated depreciation related to qualified improvement property. The Company will continue to assess the impact of the CARES Act and other COVID-19 related incentives.
