9. Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, we had an effective income tax rate from continuing operations of 56.0% and 25.1%, respectively.  Upon Closing of the Merger, we evaluated the realizability of beginning-of-the-year deferred tax assets and increased the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to state net operating loss carryforwards by $1.8 million. In addition, we recorded a $0.9 million reduction in deferred tax assets related to state income tax credits.  These adjustments increased our income tax expense for the three months ended by March 31, 2019 by approximately $2.7 million.  

We file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and in various state and foreign jurisdictions.  Tax years remaining subject to examination in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction include 2015 to present.
