Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 7 – Income Taxes The Company’s effective income tax rate (income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes) was 34.3% and 34.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and 30.2% and 32.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The differences in the effective tax rates were primarily due to changes in the ratio of permanent differences to income before income taxes, changes in state and foreign income taxes resulting from fluctuations in the Company’s noninsurance and foreign subsidiaries’ contribution to pretax profits and changes in the liability related to tax positions on the Company’s tax returns recorded in 2014. In addition, the prior year tax rates reflected non-recurring tax benefits resulting from certain adjustments to the Company’s state and non-U.S. tax accounts. In connection with the Company’s June 2010 spin-off from its prior parent, which subsequently assumed the name CoreLogic, Inc. (“CoreLogic”), it entered into a tax sharing agreement which governs the Company’s and CoreLogic’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations for certain tax related matters. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had a net payable to CoreLogic of $36.2 million and $35.1 million, respectively, related to tax matters prior to the spin-off. This amount is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The increase during the current year was primarily the result of an additional accrual for tax matters prior to the spin-off. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing the valuation allowance and adjusts the allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the Company’s forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. The ability or failure to achieve the forecasted taxable income in the applicable taxing jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets. Based on future operating results in certain jurisdictions, it is possible that the current valuation allowance positions of those jurisdictions could be adjusted in the next 12 months. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $24.4 million and $24.1 million, respectively. The net increase in the liability during 2015 was primarily attributable to activity related to examinations conducted by various taxing authorities. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the liability could be reduced by $3.4 million of offsetting tax benefits associated with the correlative effects of potential adjustments including timing adjustments and state income taxes. The net amounts of $21.0 million and $20.7 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had accrued $9.5 million and $8.9 million, respectively, of interest and penalties (net of tax benefits of $4.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively) related to uncertain tax positions. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized benefit with respect to certain of the Company’s unrecognized tax positions may significantly decrease within the next 12 months. These changes may be the result of ongoing audits or the expiration of federal and state statutes of limitations for the assessment of taxes. The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, and various non-U.S. jurisdictions.
