Income Tax Provision
Income Tax Provision	Note 12. Income Tax Provision For the first quarter of 2014, we had an income tax provision totaling $6.8 million on pretax income of $19.9 million, representing an effective tax rate of 34.1%, compared with an income tax provision of $5.4 million on pretax net income of $17.0 million, representing an effective tax rate of 31.7%, for the first quarter of 2013. The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $3.7 million at both March 31, 2014 and at December 31, 2013 that related to uncertainties associated with federal and state income tax matters. Other than the accrued interest of $38,000 related to uncertain tax positions from an entity acquired in 2013, the Company recognized interest related to uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for federal and state income tax expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized approximately $27,000 in interest expense associated with its unrecognized tax benefits. The Company had accrued interest payable associated with unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $395,000 and $368,000, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. In calculating its interim income tax provision, the Company must project or estimate its pretax income for the year to determine its estimated annual effective tax rate. If the Company is unable to reliably estimate its pretax income for the year, the Company must determine its interim tax provision using the actual effective tax rate for the period. As of March 31, 2014, the Company believed it could reliably project its pretax income for 2014 and had determined the tax provision using the estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company expects to continue using the estimated annual effective tax rate to calculate tax provision for future quarters. The Company accounts for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on internal analysis, the Company determined that a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was not required as of March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.
