Note 13. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate from operations for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012 was 40.3% and 40.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate from operations differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes.

As of June 30, 2013, we had unrecognized tax benefits totaling $218,000 (net of tax) excluding interest. The amount of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, that would affect the effective income tax rates of future periods is $199,000. Due to expirations of statute of limitations, it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will not decrease during the next 12 months.

We file consolidated income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and combined or separate income tax returns in various state jurisdictions. In general, we are no longer subject to United States federal income tax examinations for the years prior to 2009 except to the extent of losses utilized in subsequent years.
