Income Taxes

The tax provision for interim periods is determined using the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full-year earnings before taxes, adjusted for the impact of discrete quarterly items.

The provision for income taxes was $16.1 million and $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and the effective tax rate was 23.1% and 23.3%, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded a net tax charge of $0.3 million for the estimated impact of the 2017 Tax Act. Please refer to Note 16, Income Taxes, to the consolidated financial statements in our 2018 Annual Report for further discussion.
