Income Taxes From Continuing Operations
Note 18: Income Taxes From Continuing Operations
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 38.0% and 35.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to state income taxes and the recording of valuation allowances related to capital loss carryforwards in Canada, offset partially by the Domestic Production Activities Deduction. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to state income taxes partially offset by discrete benefits.
