NOTE I – 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 rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was 38.5% and 38.4%, respectively.  The primary difference in the effective rate and the statutory rate is due to state income taxes.
