INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to an income tax expense of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The income tax expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is primarily due to foreign income tax expense net of excess stock-based compensation tax deductions. The difference between the income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily relates to the increase in income taxes from the Company's profitable foreign jurisdictions.

The Company’s effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuations during the year as new information is obtained, which may affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors such as the mix of forecasted pre-tax earnings in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, changes in valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition and de-recognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, and changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where the Company conducts business.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company retains a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions. The realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets depends primarily on its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable in future periods may change as management continues to reassess the underlying factors it uses in estimating future taxable income.

The tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, is calculated on a jurisdictional basis. The Company estimated the foreign income tax provision using the estimated annual effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year.
