The provision (benefit) for income taxes was $267 and $(577), for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The provision (benefit) for income taxes was $31 and $(1,200), for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The estimated 2014 effective tax rate changed to 8.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from a 24.5% estimated annual effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 the estimated 2014 effective tax rate was 0.2%, before discrete items, compared to a 24.5% estimated annual effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $9,200 of total gross unrecognized tax benefits. Of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately $5,500 (net of the Federal benefit on state amounts) represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in any future periods.
