Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | 1 3. Income Taxes For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, our income tax expense and effective income tax rates were as follows (dollars in millions):
|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |
|  | September 30, |  |  | September 30, |
|  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |
Income tax expense |  | $ | 23 |  |  | $ | 22 |  |  | $ | 44 |  |  | $ | 43 |
Effective income tax rate |  |  | 28 | % |  |  | 27 | % |  |  | 34 | % |  |  | 26 | %
We estimate our differences between taxable income or loss and recorded income or loss on an annual basis. Our tax provision for each quarter is based upon these full year projections, which are revised each reporting period. These projections incorporate estimates of permanent differences between U.S. GAAP income or loss and taxable income or loss, state income taxes and adjustments to our liability for unrecognized tax benefits to adjust our statutory Federal income tax rate of 21% to our effective income tax rate. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, these estimates increased or decreased our statutory Federal income tax rate to our effective income tax rate of 34% as follows: state income taxes added 5%, permanent differences between our U.S. GAAP income and taxable income added 2% and divestiture of component 2 goodwill resulted in an increase of 6%. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, these estimates increased or decreased our statutory Federal income tax rate to our effective income tax rate of 26% as follows: state income taxes added 5% and permanent differences between our U.S. GAAP income and taxable income added 1%. We made income tax payments (net of refunds) of approximately $12 million and $27 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We have approximately $776 million of federal operating loss carryforwards, that expire during the years 2021 through 2037. We expect to have federal taxable income in the carryforward periods, therefore we believe that it is more likely than not that these federal operating loss carryforwards will be fully utilized. Additionally, we have an aggregate of approximately $837 million of various state operating loss carryforwards, of which we expect approximately $564 million will be utilized.
