Note 14: Income Taxes

 At the end of each quarter, we estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applied for the full year. The effective tax rate is determined by the level and composition of pre-tax ordinary income or loss, which is subject to federal, foreign and state and local income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was approximately 46 percent and 11 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate is higher primarily due to the change in earnings mix of our worldwide income and the impact of a non-recurring discrete item recorded during the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the first quarter of 2020.

We have considered the income tax accounting and disclosure implications of the relief provided by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 enacted on March 11, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, we evaluated the income tax provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act and have determined there to be no effect on either the March 31, 2021 tax rate or the computation of the estimated effective tax rate for the year. We will continue to evaluate the income tax provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act and monitor the developments in the jurisdictions where we have significant operations for tax law changes that could have income tax accounting and disclosure implications.
