19. Income TaxesIncome tax benefit was $205 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to income tax expense of $1,360 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The annual effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 31.0%. That rate is the Company’s estimated rate for 2020 based on the rates in the territories that the Company operates. The rate has increased compared to prior years reflecting global changes in tax laws. The effective tax rate is based on the projected income for the full year and is subject to ongoing review and adjustment by management.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company benefited from two discrete income tax benefits. First, the Company assessed its income tax positions to account for the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) which was signed into law on March 27, 2020. A provision of the act modified the amount of interest deduction allowed and therefore reduced the Company’s 2019 Global Intangible Low Tax Income (“GILTI”) inclusion. Second, the Company benefited from the tax impact of the vesting of certain stock grants.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 the effective rate was 25.7%. In 2019 the Company gained from the discrete benefit of the vesting of stock grants.

The Company has been notified by the Florida Department of Revenue of its intent to examine the Company’s state income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2018. The Company has also been notified by the Mississippi Department of Revenue of its intent to examine the Company’s state income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2017. Currently the results of these audits are not determinable since the audits are presently in the initial phases.
