11.  INCOME  TAXES

 

The effective income tax rate was 31.1% in the second quarter of 2016, compared to 34.4% for the second quarter of 2015. The effective income tax rate was 32.7% for the first two quarters of 2016, compared to 34.5% for the first two quarters of 2015. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2016 and the first two quarters of 2016 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based payments after the adoption of ASU 2016-09, which caused a reduction in income tax expense of $23 in the second quarter of 2016 and $39 in the first two quarters of 2016, and the benefit from tax credits and deductions, partially offset by the effect of state income taxes. Excess tax benefits related to share-based payments were historically recorded in additional paid-in capital prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-09. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2015 and the first two quarters of 2015 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the benefit from the favorable conclusion of certain tax audits and the benefit from tax credits and deductions, partially offset by the effect of state income taxes.
