Mar. 31, 2019
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 16.5%, compared to 46.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The significant items impacting the 2019 rate include a net state and foreign tax provision, certain permanent items, and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2019. The significant items impacting the 2018 rate include a net state and foreign tax provision, foreign withholding taxes related to dividends from a foreign subsidiary, certain permanent items, and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance that had been projected for December 31, 2018. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we determine it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, substantially all of our net deferred tax assets were subject to a valuation allowance.
