Note 8.  Income Taxes

 

Our effective income tax rates for the first quarters of 2019 and 2018 were 25.0% and 24.0%, respectively. The differences between our effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% were mainly due to state income taxes offset by the effects of company-owned life insurance policies.
