Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 we recorded $55.5 million and $47.1 million of income tax expense and had an effective tax rate of 34.8% and 34.2%, respectively. Our effective tax rate may differ from the federal statutory income tax rate of 35.0%, due primarily to the effect of the domestic manufacturing deduction and state and local income taxes. The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with the same period in 2015, was primarily due to the favorable closure of a Federal audit for tax years 2010 through 2012 and the resulting release of uncertain tax positions, which occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 there were no significant changes to our uncertain tax positions. For more information, see Note 6, Income Taxes, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 cash paid for taxes, net of refunds received, was $5.2 million and $9.8 million, respectively.
