Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our effective tax rate was approximately 37%, an increase from the 31% effective tax rate for the comparable 2013 period. Such differences between the effective tax rates and the applicable U.S. federal statutory rate arise primarily from the effect of state and local income taxes and tax credits available to the Company. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the impact of tax credits realized in 2013 for 2012 and 2013 as compared to the current period. The Company received credits related to the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (“WOTC”) program but this program initially expired at December 31, 2011. The WOTC was subsequently renewed, but not until January 2, 2013, as part of The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. Since the WOTC was renewed during the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the total tax effect of additional expected credits for 2012 was included in this period. In addition, the WOTC again expired as of December 31, 2013 and has not yet been renewed. As such, the 2014 estimated annual effective tax rate is expected to be 37% compared to 29% for 2013. The 2014 estimated tax rate increased due to the expiration of certain tax credits that benefited us in 2013, including the recognition of tax credits for the 2012 tax year during the three month period ended March 31, 2013. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which results in recognizing income tax expense based on the amount of income taxes payable or refundable for the current year. Additionally, we evaluate regularly the tax positions taken or expected to be taken resulting from financial statement recognition of certain items. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2010 through 2013 (with regard to U.S. federal income tax returns) and December 31, 2009 through 2013 (with regard to various state and local income tax returns), the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of September 30, 2014. We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by taxing jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. When we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.
