Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | 10. INCOME TAXES The determination of the annual effective tax is based upon a number of significant estimates and judgments, including the estimated annual pretax income in each tax jurisdiction in which we operate and the ongoing development of tax planning strategies during the year. In addition, our provision for income taxes can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits and reviews, as well as other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions. The following is a summary of our provision for income taxes and effective tax rate from continuing operations (dollars in thousands):
|  | For the Quarter Ended June 30, |  |  | For the Year to Date Ended June 30, |
|  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Pretax income |  | $ | 38,461 |  |  | $ | 1,781 |  |  | $ | 77,197 |  |  | $ | 33,376 |
Provision for income taxes |  | $ | 10,272 |  |  | $ | 2,302 |  |  | $ | 19,876 |  |  | $ | 8,709 |
Effective rate |  |  | 26.7 | % |  |  | 129.3 | % |  |  | 25.7 | % |  |  | 26.1 | %
As of December 31, 2019, a valuation allowance of $45.0 million was maintained with respect to our foreign tax credits and state net operating losses. After considering both positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets, we have determined that it is necessary to continue to maintain a $45.0 million valuation allowance against our foreign tax credits and state net operating losses as of June 30, 2020. The effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2020 was impacted by the tax effect of stock-based compensation and the release of previously recorded tax reserves. The effect of these discrete items increased the effective tax rate for the quarter by 0.3% and decreased the year to date rate by 0.8%. The effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2019 was primarily impacted by a $2.4 million unfavorable adjustment related to the partial non-deductibility of a settlement with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, which increased the effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date by 132.5% and 7.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2019 also includes a $0.5 million net benefit associated with the results of a Florida income tax audit covering the years ended December 31, 2014 through December 31, 2016, which decreased the effective tax rate by 28.2% and 1.5%, respectively. We estimate that it is reasonably possible that the gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits for a variety of uncertain tax positions will decrease by up to $1.4 million in the next twelve months as a result of the completion of various tax audits currently in process and the expiration of the statute of limitations in several jurisdictions. The income tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2020 does not take into account the possible reduction of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The impact of a reduction to the liability will be treated as a discrete item in the period the reduction occurs. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. As of June 30, 2020, we had accrued $1.7 million as an estimate for reasonably possible interest and accrued penalties. Our tax returns are routinely examined by federal, state and local tax authorities and these audits are at various stages of completion at any given time. The Internal Revenue Service has completed its examination of our U.S. income tax returns through our tax year ended December 31, 2014.
