NOTE E – Income Taxes

Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a year to date adjustment.

Our effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were 38.3% and 38.6%, respectively.  The primary difference in the effective rate and the statutory rate is due to state income taxes.
