Income Taxes	12. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes is based on a current estimate of the annual effective income tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items. Significant management judgment is required in estimating operating income in order to determine our estimated effective income tax rate. The effective income tax rate was 38.57% and 31.94% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 39.11% and 32.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The higher effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily a result of our 2014 Reorganization, as the 2013 effective income tax rate only includes WCAS Holdings which has historically been treated as a consolidated corporation that is taxed under Subchapter C of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a “Subchapter C Corporation”). As a result of the 2014 Reorganization, we are treated as a Subchapter C Corporation and, therefore, subject to both federal and state income taxes. Holdings continues to be recognized as a wholly-owned partnership for income tax purposes. Accordingly, we recorded a one-time non-cash charge to equity of $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 for the amount of the deferred tax liability resulting from the exchange of common units, incentive units and Series B Preferred Units of Holdings for common stock and restricted stock of Software as part of the 2014 Reorganization. Pro Forma Income Tax Expense In connection with the 2014 Reorganization, we became taxed as a Subchapter C Corporation effective January 1, 2014. The pro forma net income applied in computing the pro forma EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 is based on our historical net income as adjusted to reflect our conversion to a Subchapter C Corporation as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2013. The pro forma net income includes an adjustment to income tax expense, the amount of which was determined at an effective income tax rate of 46.9%, which resulted in an incremental pro forma income tax expense (benefit) of ($0.1 million) and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
