Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Tax Provision | Income Tax Provision We had an effective income tax rate of negative 3.9% and 0.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to 14.6% and 12.6% (as adjusted) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the periods presented were different from the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 21% in 2018 and 35% in 2017 principally due to excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises. The excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises realized was $11.5 million and $20.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to $8.5 million and 18.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Excluding the excess tax benefits, the effective rate was 26.7% and 27.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to 37.3% and 37.7% (as adjusted) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Other differences from the federal statutory income tax rate include state income taxes, non-deductible business expenses, the tax benefit of research tax credits, and in 2017, the tax benefit of the domestic production activities deduction. The decrease in effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same periods in 2017 was due primarily to the reduction of the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Act, the increase in excess tax benefit related to stock option exercises and the research tax credit benefit, offset by the elimination of the domestic production activities deduction and the increased limitations on the deduction for executive compensation. In the fourth quarter of 2017, we recorded a $26.0 million (as adjusted under Topic 606) tax benefit due to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities at a lower tax rate. As of June 30, 2018, we have not recorded any adjustments to the provisional amounts for the income tax effects of the Tax Act recorded in 2017. However, based on a continued analysis of the estimates and further guidance on the application of the law, it is anticipated that additional revisions may occur throughout the allowable measurement period. Overall, the changes due to the Tax Act will favorably affect income tax expense and future U.S. earnings. We made tax payments of $7.1 million and $27.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively.
