Income Taxes

4.  The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately 33.7% and 34.2% for the first quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate in 2017 primarily due to the Domestic Production Activities Deduction allowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 199.

 

The Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2013 through 2016 tax years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).   While it may be possible that a reduction could occur with respect to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as an outcome of an IRS examination, management does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.  No statutes have been extended on any of the Company’s federal income tax filings.  The statute of limitations on the Company’s 2013 through 2016 federal income tax returns will expire on September 15, 2017 through 2020, respectively.

 

The Company’s state income tax returns for the 2013 through 2016 tax years remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest closing period on October 31, 2020.  The Company is not currently under examination by any state authority for income tax purposes and no statutes for state income tax filings have been extended.
