The provision for income taxes includes federal, state and local income taxes currently payable and deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

Income tax expense of $70 and $66 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, was comprised of the change in deferred tax liability related to goodwill. Goodwill is an amortizing asset according to tax regulations. This generates a deferred tax liability that is not used to offset deferred tax assets for valuation allowance considerations.
