Note 15. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 27.2 percent and 33.2 percent, respectively.

The income tax provision was computed based on the Company’s estimated effective tax rate and forecasted income by jurisdiction expected for the full year, including the impact of any unusual, infrequent, or non-recurring items. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was less than the federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent primarily due to the adoption of new accounting guidance which requires the excess tax benefit on share-based compensation to be recorded to income tax expense rather than other comprehensive income.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, cash paid for income taxes was $2.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
