For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company calculated its effective tax rate based on year-to-date results, pursuant to the Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was 2.6% and 1.3%, respectively, including the impact of discrete items. Excluding discrete items, the Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was negative 1.3% and negative 2.3%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was negative 210.5% and negative 151.9%, respectively, including the impact of discrete items. Excluding discrete items, the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was negative 14.8% and 3.8%, respectively.
As a result of the Company's valuation allowance on substantially all of its domestic deferred tax assets, income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was primarily impacted by the impairment of indefinite-lived intangibles and international and state taxes. Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was also impacted by the additional valuation allowance recorded.

As of June 30, 2019, management assessed the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income would be generated to permit use of its existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended June 30, 2019. On the basis of this evaluation, an additional valuation allowance of $36.0 million was recorded, of which $35.8 million of which was recorded as income tax expense and $0.2 million as a reduction of other comprehensive income, to reduce the portion of the deferred tax asset that was not more likely than not to be realized.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act, was signed into law on March 27, 2020. Among other things, the CARES Act provided for an immediate refund of Alternative Minimum Tax credits as compared
to the 2017 Tax Act’s scheduled refunds through 2021. Accordingly, an additional $0.3 million is presented as a current income tax receivable within other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had a valuation allowance of $39.9 million and $37.3 million, respectively. The valuation allowance applied to all domestic deferred tax assets other than certain deferred tax assets expected to be realized.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $0.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits included in other long-term liabilities, $6.6 million, net of deferred taxes, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had a gross increase of $0.7 million to its current year unrecognized tax benefits related to federal and state tax provisions.

The tax years 2012 through 2019 remain open to examination by certain taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject to tax.
