Income Taxes

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded $60.9 million and $170.1 million of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 36.8% and 36.6%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded $46.2 million and $115.4 million of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 35.3% and 35.1%, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the primary reasons for the difference from the federal statutory income tax rate of 35.0% were the effect of state and local income taxes and the domestic manufacturers’ deduction.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, there were no significant changes to our uncertain tax positions. For more information, see Note 5, Income Taxes, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of our updated 2013 Financial Statements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, cash paid for taxes, net of refunds received, was $110.8 million and $45.7 million, respectively.
