16.  Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 26.2% and 27.3% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 20.9% and (5.1%) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The prior year effective rate was impacted by the lower tax rate for the tax benefit on the provision for expected loss on the note receivable and lease guarantee liability recorded in the third quarter of 2018 related to HC, as discussed in Note 5 and Note 13, respectively. The effective income tax rate for both periods was different than the Company’s statutory rate, primarily due to state taxes and non-deductible expenses.

The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate was $1.0 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Company and its subsidiaries file U.S. Federal, state and local, and non-U.S. income tax returns. As of September 30, 2019, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal examination by tax authorities for tax years before 2015. The Company’s 2017 U.S. Federal tax return is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The Company is subject to state and local examinations for tax years of 2013 through 2018. In addition, the Company is subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations for tax years of 2014 through 2018.
