Taxes INCOME TAXES
For interim periods, accounting standards require that income tax expense be determined by applying the estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date results, unless this method does not result in a reliable estimate of year-to-date income tax expense. Each period, the income tax accrual is adjusted to the latest estimate and the difference from the previously accrued year-to-date balance is adjusted to the current quarter.

For the first six months of 2020, our income tax expense reflects a rate of 11% as compared to rate of 54% in the comparable period of 2019. For the first six months of 2020, the primary differences between the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% and the effective rate of 11% relates to the effect of tax credits and a $7.1 million benefit from the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. For the first six months of 2019, the primary differences between the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% and the effective rate of 54% relates to the effect of tax credits and non-deductible compensation expense.
