Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax	11. Income Tax The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020 and includes favorable changes to tax law and incentives for businesses impacted by COVID-19. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to net operating loss carryback periods which have discretely impacted and increased the effective tax rate by 69.1% in the current period. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was (100.3)% and 30.0%, respectively, compared to 65.0% and 503.5%, respectively, for the same period in 2019. The change in the effective tax rate between the periods resulted primarily from discretely recognized tax benefits of net operating losses, impairment losses, changes in valuation allowances in the United States and in various foreign countries, deferred tax accrual for unrepatriated foreign earnings and the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates. We have historically considered the majority of undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries and equity investees to be indefinitely reinvested, and, accordingly, no deferred taxes had been provided on the indefinitely reinvested earnings. As of June 30, 2020, the Company reversed its indefinite reinvestment assertion. As a result, we recorded a deferred foreign tax liability of $3.4 million, which is primarily related to estimated foreign withholding tax associated with repatriating all non-U.S. earnings back to the United States.
