Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 10 – Income Taxes The U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“The CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020 to provide, among other things, tax relief to companies impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes, among other items, provisions for net operating loss carryback, modifications to the business interest expense deduction, a technical correction to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property, and alternative minimum tax credit refunds. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a tax benefit arising from the carryback of the net operating loss generated in the taxable year ended December 31, 2019. The interim provision for income taxes is different from the amount determined by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate to consolidated income or loss before taxes. The differences are attributable to foreign tax rate differentials, unrecognized tax benefits, and foreign tax credits. Our effective tax rate was 25.9% and 33.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change between 2021 and 2020 is primarily related to a decrease in valuation allowance in 2021. The forecasted effective tax rate is updated each quarter as new information becomes available.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

The U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“The CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020 to provide, among other things, tax relief to companies impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes, among other items, provisions for net operating loss carryback, modifications to the business interest expense deduction, a technical correction to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property, and alternative minimum tax credit refunds. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a tax benefit arising from the carryback of the net operating loss generated in the taxable year ended December 31, 2019.

The interim provision for income taxes is different from the amount determined by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate to consolidated income or loss before taxes. The differences are attributable to foreign tax rate differentials, unrecognized tax benefits, and foreign tax credits. Our effective tax rate was 25.9% and 33.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change between 2021 and 2020 is primarily related to a decrease in valuation allowance in 2021. The forecasted effective tax rate is updated each quarter as new information becomes available.
