Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were 22.7% and 34.7%, respectively. The decrease in the current quarter tax rate, when compared to the same quarter of the prior year, is primarily the result of the reduction in the United States (“U.S.”) federal tax rate from 35% to 21% in accordance with the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

In accordance with ASU 2018-05 and SAB 118, the Company recognized the provisional tax impacts related to the re-measurement of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities and the one-time, mandatory transition tax on deemed repatriation during the year ended December 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2018, we have not made any additional measurement-period adjustments related to these items. Such adjustments may be necessary in future periods due to, among other things, the significant complexity of the Act and anticipated additional regulatory guidance that may be issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), changes in analysis, interpretations and assumptions the Company has made and actions the Company may take as a result of the Act.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were 22.7% and 34.7%, respectively. The decrease in the current quarter tax rate, when compared to the same quarter of the prior year, is primarily the result of the reduction in the United States (“U.S.”) federal tax rate from 35% to 21% in accordance with the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Also impacting the rate within the quarter were certain tax reserve and deferred tax adjustments.

In accordance with ASU 2018-05 and SAB 118, the Company recognized the provisional tax impacts related to the re-measurement of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities and the one-time, mandatory transition tax on deemed repatriation during the year ended December 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2018, we have not made any additional measurement-period adjustments related to these items. Such adjustments may be necessary in future periods due to, among other things, the significant complexity of the Act and anticipated additional regulatory guidance that may be issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), changes in analysis, interpretations and assumptions the Company has made and actions the Company may take as a result of the Act. We are continuing to gather information to assess the application of the Act and expect to complete our analysis with the filing of our 2017 income tax returns during the fourth quarter of 2018.

We file income tax returns in the U.S., in various states and in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company has recorded liabilities to cover certain uncertain tax positions. Such uncertain tax positions relate to additional taxes that the Company may be required to pay in various tax jurisdictions. During the course of examinations by various taxing authorities, proposed adjustments may be asserted. The Company evaluates such items on a case-by-case basis and adjusts the accrual for uncertain tax positions as deemed necessary.

The IRS has completed the audit of our 2014 corporate income tax return and made no changes to our reported tax.
