Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
The Company’s interim effective income tax rate is based on management’s best current estimate of the Company's expected annual effective income tax rate. The Company recorded a pre-tax loss in the first six months of fiscal year 2020 and its corresponding effective tax rate is (5.6%). Tax expense in the six months ended March 31, 2020 is due to state and foreign taxes paid. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily as a result of the valuation allowance charge on current year losses and the impact of foreign, state, and local income taxes and permanent tax adjustments.

The Company identified no new uncertain tax positions during the six months ended March 31, 2020. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state and local jurisdictions and in foreign jurisdictions, primarily Canada and the United Kingdom. As of March 31, 2020, none of the Company's federal or state income tax returns are under examination, however, we remain subject to examination for certain of our foreign income tax returns. The statute of limitations for U.S. federal income tax returns for years prior to fiscal 2016 is now closed. However, certain tax attribute carryforwards that were generated prior to fiscal 2016 may be adjusted upon examination by tax authorities if they are utilized.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act provides opportunities for additional liquidity, loan guarantees, and other government programs to support companies affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and their employees. Based on our preliminary analysis of the CARES Act, we do not expect a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements.
