Income Taxes From Continuing Operations

Note 18: Income Taxes From Continuing Operations

Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 35.8% and 37.7% for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 66.7% and 32.3% for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Our effective tax rate for both the three months endedSeptember 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, was higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to state income taxes, partially offset by the domestic production activities deduction.

Our effective tax rate for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015, was higher than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to an $85.9 million non-tax deductible goodwill impairment charge that was recorded in the second quarter of 2015 and state income taxes, partially offset by the domestic production activities deduction.

Our effective tax rate for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014, was lower than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to the domestic production activities deduction and discrete benefits, partially offset by state income taxes.
