Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	11. Income Taxes Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the taxation treatment of income attributable to noncontrolling interests in IBG LLC. These noncontrolling interests are held directly through a U.S. partnership. Accordingly, the income attributable to these noncontrolling interests is reported in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, but the related U.S. income tax expense attributable to these noncontrolling interests is not reported by the Company as it is generally the obligation of the noncontrolling interests. Income tax expense is also affected by the differing effective tax rates in foreign, state and local jurisdictions where certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are subject to corporate taxation. Deferred income taxes arise primarily due to the amortization of the deferred tax assets recognized in connection with the common stock offerings (see Note 4), differences in the valuation of financial assets and liabilities, and for other temporary differences arising from the deductibility of compensation and depreciation expenses in different time periods for accounting and income tax return purposes. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2020, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal and State income tax examinations for tax years prior to 2014, and to non-U.S. income tax examinations for tax years prior to 2009. As of June 30, 2020, accumulated earnings held by non-U.S. subsidiaries totaled $1.3 billion (as of December 31, 2019 $1.3 billion). Of this amount, approximately $0.2 billion (as of December 31, 2019 $0.2 billion) is attributable to earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are considered “pass-through” entities for U.S. income tax purposes. Since the Company accounts for U.S. income taxes on these earnings on a current basis, no additional U.S. tax consequences would result from the repatriation of these earnings other than that which would be due arising from currency fluctuations between the time the earnings are reported for U.S. tax purposes and when they are remitted. With respect to certain of these subsidiaries’ accumulated earnings, approximately $0.2 billion and $0.2 billion as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, would result in additional foreign taxes in the form of dividend withholding tax imposed on the recipient of the distribution or dividend distribution tax imposed on the payor of the distribution upon repatriation. The Company has not provided for its proportionate share of additional foreign taxes or deferred U.S. tax on cumulative translation adjustments associated with certain foreign pass-through entities as it does not intend to repatriate these earnings in the foreseeable future. ‎

11. Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the taxation treatment of income attributable to noncontrolling interests in IBG LLC. These noncontrolling interests are held directly through a U.S. partnership. Accordingly, the income attributable to these noncontrolling interests is reported in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, but the related U.S. income tax expense attributable to these noncontrolling interests is not reported by the Company as it is generally the obligation of the noncontrolling interests. Income tax expense is also affected by the differing effective tax rates in foreign, state and local jurisdictions where certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are subject to corporate taxation.

Deferred income taxes arise primarily due to the amortization of the deferred tax assets recognized in connection with the common stock offerings (see Note 4), differences in the valuation of financial assets and liabilities, and for other temporary differences arising from the deductibility of compensation and depreciation expenses in different time periods for accounting and income tax return purposes.

As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no valuation allowances on deferred tax assets.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. As of June 30, 2020, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal and State income tax examinations for tax years prior to 2014, and to non-U.S. income tax examinations for tax years prior to 2009.

As of June 30, 2020, accumulated earnings held by non-U.S. subsidiaries totaled $1.3 billion (as of December 31, 2019 $1.3 billion). Of this amount, approximately $0.2 billion (as of December 31, 2019 $0.2 billion) is attributable to earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are considered “pass-through” entities for U.S. income tax purposes. Since the Company accounts for U.S. income taxes on these earnings on a current basis, no additional U.S. tax consequences would result from the repatriation of these earnings other than that which would be due arising from currency fluctuations between the time the earnings are reported for U.S. tax purposes and when they are remitted. With respect to certain of these subsidiaries’ accumulated earnings, approximately $0.2 billion and $0.2 billion as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, would result in additional foreign taxes in the form of dividend withholding tax imposed on the recipient of the distribution or dividend distribution tax imposed on the payor of the distribution upon repatriation. The Company has not provided for its proportionate share of additional foreign taxes or deferred U.S. tax on cumulative translation adjustments associated with certain foreign pass-through entities as it does not intend to repatriate these earnings in the foreseeable future.
