INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
Income tax provision of $5.6 million and $9.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, represent taxes on both U.S. and foreign earnings at combined effective income tax provision rates of 31.1% and 31.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state and local tax expense, and foreign losses for which no tax benefit is recognized as such amounts are fully offset with a valuation allowance.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes. Income tax provision of $3.7 million and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, represent taxes on both U.S. and foreign earnings at combined effective income tax provision rates of 21.2% and (20.3)%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 is consistent with the federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% and includes an increase for state and local tax expense offset by other items that are not material. The negative rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflects tax expense on a pretax financial reporting loss. The effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state and local tax expense, equity based awards, and the non-deductible portion of the U.S. goodwill impairment recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The Company has identified the following jurisdictions as “major” tax jurisdictions: U.S. Federal, California, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and the United Kingdom.
The Company's New York State tax returns for years 2015-2016 remain under audit. The audit has been expanded to include tax years 2017-2019. As of September 30, 2021, there are no material assessments in any given year.
The Company evaluates its tax positions on a quarterly basis and revises its estimates accordingly. There were no material changes to the Company’s uncertain tax positions, interest, or penalties during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.
