4. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured at tax rates that will be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

During both the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes from continuing operations of $1.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes from continuing operations of $3.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 24% and 20%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate primarily reflects the statutory corporate income tax rate, the net effect of state taxes, and the effect of various permanent tax differences. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded excess tax benefits related to stock based awards of $130,000 and $692,000, respectively, as a component of the provision for income taxes, which reduced the effective tax rate compared to the statutory tax rates.
