Our policy is to accrue interest and penalties on any uncertain tax position as a component of income tax expense. No such expenses were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. We do not believe there will be any material changes in our uncertain tax positions over the next 12 months.

 

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements.  Under this guidance, income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of the standard.  We did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Our estimated tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were 21.0% and 23.0%, respectively.
