Income Taxes	Income Taxes The provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted as necessary for quarterly events. For the first quarter of 2019, the Company’s effective tax rate was 33.6% compared to 18.5% in the first quarter of 2018. The first quarter 2019 rate was higher than the Company's combined federal and state statutory rate primarily due to the recognition of tax expense recorded through the income statement on share-based awards that vested in the quarter. The first quarter 2018 rate was lower than the Company's combined federal and state statutory rate primarily due to the release of a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. Income taxes paid were $12 million and $11 million for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.
