(5) Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rates for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were 39.2% and 43.8%, respectively, and differ from the federal statutory rate of 34% primarily due to state taxes. The effective tax rate was higher for the period ended March 31, 2014 due to a true-up of the prior year tax provision as a result of a one-time tax charge due to the inability to deduct for income tax purposes certain compensation expenses under Section 162(m) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

We are subject to income tax in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions and have identified our federal tax return and tax returns in California and Massachusetts as major tax filings. Our U.S. federal tax returns for 2011 and subsequent years remain open to examination. Our California and Massachusetts tax returns for 2010 and subsequent tax years remain open to examination.
