Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 34% primarily because our previously reported losses have been offset by a valuation allowance due to uncertainty as to the realization of those losses.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded income tax expense of $52,000 and $93,000, respectively, on pre-tax income of $3.7 million and $7.2 million, respectively, for an effective tax rate of 1.4% and 1.3%, respectively. The income tax expense is based on our payments of state minimum taxes, alternative minimum tax ("AMT") (net of available AMT credit), and the amortization of tax deductible goodwill that is not an available source of income to realize the deferred tax asset.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded income tax expense of $11,000 and $48,000, respectively, on pre-tax losses of $1.1 million and $6.9 million, respectively for an effective tax rate of (1.0)% and (0.7)%, respectively. The income tax expense is based on our payments of state minimum taxes and the amortization of tax deductible goodwill that is not an available source of income to realize the deferred tax asset.
