Income Taxes [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Note 6. Income Taxes

As required by ASC 740, we compute interim period income taxes by applying an anticipated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date income or loss from operations before income taxes, except for significant unusual or infrequently occurring items. Our estimated tax rate is adjusted each quarter in accordance with ASC 740. The effective tax rate on income was 51.1 percent and 9.8 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021 is primarily due to share-based awards, offset, in part, by a reduction in state income taxes and an increase in income tax credits.

We are subject to taxation in the United States, various states and foreign jurisdictions. Pursuant to the terms of the tax matters agreement entered into with Terminix in connection with the Spin-off, we are not subject to federal examination by the IRS or examination by state taxing authorities where a unitary or combined state income tax return is filed for the years prior to 2018. We are not subject to state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities in jurisdictions where separate income tax returns are filed for the years prior to 2017. Substantially all of our income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was generated in the United States.
