15.  Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to 27.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The effective income tax rate for both periods was different than the Company’s statutory rate, primarily due to state taxes and non-deductible expenses.

The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate was $1.1 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The Company and its subsidiaries file U.S. Federal, state and local, and non-U.S. income tax returns. As of March 31, 2020, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal examination by tax authorities for tax years before 2015. The Company’s 2017 U.S. Federal tax return is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The Company is subject to state and local examinations for tax years of 2013 through 2018. In addition, the Company is subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations for tax years of 2014 through 2018.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. While the Company expects to realize certain benefits under the CARES Act and is continuing to evaluate its impacts, it does not believe the CARES Act will materially affect its consolidated financial statements.
