Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] – Income Taxes
The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, plus or minus discrete items. The following table presents the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:
Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
2021202020212020
Income/(loss) before provision (benefit) for income taxes$46,941$(23,345)$74,948 $(48,547)
Income tax expense/(benefit)$9,600$(6,201)$15,276$(13,602)
Effective tax rate20.5%26.6%20.4%28.0%

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is primarily due to the expected jurisdictional mix of profit and losses from each period, and lower Global Intangible Low Taxed Income in 2021.

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 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 2020 remain open to examination by most taxing authorities.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("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 received or expects to continue to receive a corporate income tax benefit on the net operating loss carryback provision set forth by the CARES Act, as well as benefits related to the employee retention credit, and favorable cash flow benefits in connection with employer payroll tax deferral, and accelerated depreciation related to qualified improvement property.
