NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, including income taxes attributable to the discontinued operations, was 38.26% and 38.21%, respectively. The provision for income taxes reflects the Company’s estimate of the effective rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year, adjusted for any discrete events, which are reported in the period that they occur. The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated income tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and in several states. The Internal Revenue Service has audited the Company’s consolidated federal tax returns through the year 2006 and all proposed adjustments have been settled.
