Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
Our provision for income tax primarily reflects taxes on international operations and state income taxes. The difference between the income tax provision that would be derived by applying the statutory rate to our loss before income taxes and the income tax provision recorded was primarily attributable to changes in our valuation allowance, stock-based compensation expense and research and development credits.
On June 7, 2019, a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit overturned the U.S. Tax Court's decision in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner and upheld the portion of the Treasury regulations under Section 482 of the Internal Revenue Code that requires related parties in a cost-sharing arrangement to share expenses related to share-based compensation. On July 22, 2019, the taxpayer filed a petition for a rehearing before the full Ninth Circuit and the request was denied on November 12, 2019. On February 10, 2020, the taxpayer filed a petition to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court and on June 22, 2020 the Supreme Court denied the petition. The Supreme Court action did not have a material impact on our financial statements. There is no impact on our effective tax rate for the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2021, due to our U.S. full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.
At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021, there were no material changes to either the nature or the amounts of the uncertain tax positions previously determined for fiscal 2020.
