Income Taxes

In determining quarterly provisions for income taxes, the Company uses the annual estimated effective tax rate applied to the actual year-to-date loss. The Company’s annual estimated effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of state taxes, tax amortization of goodwill and changes in the Company’s valuation allowance.

The Company recorded income tax expense of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s provision for income taxes primarily reflects tax expense associated with state income taxes and the amortization of tax-deductible goodwill that is not an available source of income to realize deferred tax assets. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance as it is more likely than not that the Company’s net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

There were no material changes to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits in the three months ended March 31, 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2021, there was a $1.1 million increase in unrecognized tax benefit primarily related to bonus expense that does not qualify as a federal income tax deduction when accrued for financial reporting purposes. The Company expects the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to decrease by $1.1 million during the fiscal year as a result of proposed filing of application for a change in accounting method with the filing of the tax return.

The Company is subject to United States federal and state taxation. Due to the presence of net operating loss carryforwards, all income tax years remain open for examination by the IRS and various state taxing authorities. The Company is not currently under Internal Revenue Service or state tax examination.
