NOTE H – INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate from continuing operations is presented below:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Effective tax rate from continuing operations	7.1	%	8.0	%

The change in our reported tax rates for the first quarter of 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, relates primarily to the impact of certain receipts and charges that are taxed at different rates than our effective tax rate. These receipts and charges include intangible asset impairment charges, acquisition-related items, restructuring items, litigation-related items, as well as certain discrete tax items, primarily related to share-based payments.

We have immaterial changes to our overall uncertain tax benefits as of March 31, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018.
