Income Taxes Income Taxes Income tax expense is provided on an interim basis based upon our estimate of the annual effective income tax rate, adjusted each quarter for discrete items. Our effective tax rate was 20.5% and 22.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Impacting our effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2020 was a valuation allowance generated by the financial market volatility resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which increased our effective tax rate by 1.2%.
