Income Taxes

4.  The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately 32.3% and 32.7% for the second quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 33.2% and 32.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Rates were lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the Domestic Production Activities Deduction allowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 199.

 

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”) to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes.  Under this update, all deferred income tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, are required to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet.  Effective January 1, 2016, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2015-17 and retrospectively reclassified $425,191 of current deferred income tax assets to long-term deferred income tax liability on the December 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2012 through 2015 tax years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).   While it may be possible that a reduction could occur with respect to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as an outcome of an IRS examination, management does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.  No statutes have been extended on any of the Company’s federal income tax filings.  The statute of limitations on the Company’s 2012 through 2015 federal income tax returns will expire on September 15, 2016 through 2019, respectively.

 

The Company’s state income tax returns for the 2012 through 2015 tax years remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest closing period on October 31, 2019.  The Company is not currently under examination by any state authority for income tax purposes and no statutes for state income tax filings have been extended.
