Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009.

The federal and state income tax provision consisted of the following:

Year ended December 31,	2013				2012					2011
		Current		Deferred		Current		Deferred			Current		Deferred
Federal	$	49,022	$	4,879	$	34,941	$	(327	)	$	11,371	$	7,948
State		9,202		857		6,635		231			3,926		256
	$	58,224	$	5,736	$	41,576	$	(96	)	$	15,297	$	8,204

The effective income tax rate varied from the statutory federal income tax rate as follows:

Year ended December 31,	2013			2012			2011
Statutory federal income tax rate		35.0	%		35.0	%		35.0	%
State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit		3.7			4.0			4.3
Domestic production activities deduction		(2.7	)		(3.0	)		(1.8	)
Other items		0.5			1.0			(0.5	)
Effective income tax rate		36.5	%		37.0	%		37.0	%

Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

December 31,	2013			2012
Deferred tax assets:
Product liability	$	451		$	391
Employee compensation and benefits		3,708			3,343
Allowances for doubtful accounts and discounts		2,558			1,123
Inventories		932			688
Additional minimum pension liability		10,905			17,396
Stock-based compensation		3,672			2,116
Other		1,853			859
Total deferred tax assets		24,079			25,916
Deferred tax liabilities:
Pension plans		11,310			10,205
Depreciation		14,311			8,069
Other		422			354
Total deferred tax liabilities		26,043			18,628
Net deferred tax (liabilities) assets	$	(1,964	)	$	7,288

Changes in deferred tax assets relating to the additional minimum pension liability are not charged to expense and are therefore not included in the deferred tax provision; instead they are charged to other comprehensive income.

The Company made income tax payments of approximately $59.9 million, $33.0 million, and $16.4 million, during 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The Company expects to realize its deferred tax assets through tax deductions against future taxable income or carry back against taxes previously paid.

The Company does not believe it has included any "uncertain tax positions" in its federal income tax return or any of the state income tax returns it is currently filing. The Company has made an evaluation of the potential impact of additional state taxes being assessed by jurisdictions in which the Company does not currently consider itself liable. The Company does not anticipate that such additional taxes, if any, would result in a material change to its financial position.
