INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes for interim periods is based on management's best estimate of the effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the current year, plus any adjustments arising from changes in the estimated amount of taxable income related to prior periods. Income tax expense recorded through September 30, 2016 has been estimated utilizing a 38.5% rate based upon year-to-date income and projected results for the full year. Additionally, the Company recorded a discrete tax benefit of $0.7 million related to the conversion of employee stock awards during the first quarter of 2016. The final effective tax rate applied to 2016 will depend on the actual amount of non-deductible items, pre-tax book income generated by the Company for the full year and taxes related to the stock warrants granted to Amazon.
The Company has operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Management expects to utilize the loss carryforwards to offset federal income tax liabilities in the future. Due to the Company's deferred tax assets, including its loss carryforwards, management does not expect to pay federal income taxes until 2019 or later. The Company may, however, be required to pay alternative minimum taxes and certain state and local income taxes before then.
