Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, our income tax provision from continuing operations was $20.2 million and $26.2 million, respectively, based on effective income tax rates, before discrete items and less amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, of 37.8% and 37.6%, respectively. The actual income tax rates on income from continuing operations, less amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, inclusive of discrete items, were 37.9% and 37.7%, respectively. The decrease in the 2015 income tax provision was primarily due to decreased income before income taxes. The increase in the actual income tax rates on income from continuing operations was primarily due to a change in the mix of earnings among various jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits for each period was $5.2 million (of which $3.0 million, if recognized, would favorably affect our effective income tax rate). We report interest expense related to unrecognized income tax benefits in the income tax provision. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million of accrued interest related to unrecognized income tax benefits included as a liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, less than $0.1 million of interest expense and $0.1 million of interest income was recognized, respectively. It is reasonably possible that approximately $3.3 million of unrecognized income tax benefits at March 31, 2015, primarily relating to uncertain tax positions attributable to tax return filing positions, will significantly decrease in the next twelve months as a result of estimated settlements with taxing authorities and the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. We file income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and various state, local and foreign tax agencies. The Company is currently under examination by various taxing authorities for the years 2008 through 2014. During the first quarter of 2014, the Internal Revenue Service finalized its audit of our federal income tax returns for the years 2010 through 2011. We agreed to and paid an assessment, for an immaterial amount, proposed by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to such audit.
