Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Note 8 — Income Taxes Forrester provides for income taxes on an interim basis according to management’s estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. Certain items such as changes in tax rates, tax benefits or expense related to settlements of share-based payment awards, and foreign currency gains or losses are treated as discrete items and are recorded in the period in which they arise. Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 1.7% for the period. The Company recorded a $0.6 million discrete tax expense during the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to the settlement of a U.S. Competent Authority claim during the period. The Company anticipates that its effective tax rate for the full year 2019 will be approximately 5% due to a projected pretax loss for the year. Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $0.7 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.7% for the period. In July 2015, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner related to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in an intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. The opinion invalidated part of a treasury regulation requiring stock-based compensation to be included in any qualified intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. The Company previously recorded a tax benefit based on the opinion in the case. Currently the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is reviewing the case and a final decision is yet to be issued. The Company will continue to monitor ongoing developments and potential impacts to its consolidated financial statements.
