The Company computes its year-to-date provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pretax income or loss and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. The Company reported income tax expense of $18.6 thousand and zero for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $51.1 thousand and zero for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of (0.1255)%, zero percent, (0.1785)%, and zero percent, respectively. The provision for income taxes varied from the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% for the periods presented primarily due to changes in the Company’s valuation allowance, state and foreign taxes, and the tax effects of stock-based compensation.
The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S. as well as other tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company’s U.S. operations have resulted in losses, and as such, the Company maintains a valuation allowance against all U.S. deferred tax assets. While the Company believes its current valuation allowance is appropriate, the Company assesses the need for an adjustment to the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. The assessment is based on all available positive and negative evidence including past results of operations, forecasted earnings, tax planning strategies, and all sources of future taxable income. In the event the Company determines that it will be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, all or part of the valuation allowance will be released in the period in which the Company makes such determination. The release of all or part of the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets may cause greater volatility in the effective tax rate in the periods in which it is released.
