Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes

In connection with a current examination of the tax returns in two foreign jurisdictions, the taxing authorities have issued income tax deficiencies related to transfer pricing aggregating approximately $159.5 million (including interest and penalties) for tax years 2012 through 2016.  We strongly disagree with the proposed adjustments and have filed a protest with each of the taxing authorities as we believe that the proposed adjustments are without technical merit. We will continue to vigorously contest the adjustments and expect to exhaust all administrative and judicial remedies necessary to resolve the matters, which could be a lengthy process.   We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from examinations such as these to determine the adequacy of our tax reserves. Accordingly, we have not accrued any additional amounts based upon the proposed adjustments. There can be no assurance that these matters will be resolved in our favor, and an adverse outcome of either matter, or any future tax examinations involving similar assertions, could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Provision for income taxes was $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $8.6 million for the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in the provision for income taxes of $8.3 million is primarily due to lower earnings in certain taxable jurisdictions. The tax provision for the first quarter of 2020 also includes a $1.7 million benefit relating to the NOL carryback provision of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES) Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020.
