Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES |
Our forecasted effective tax rate at September 30, 2014 is 47.9%, a 9.9% increase from the 38.0% effective tax rate recorded at September 30, 2013. The increase in the expected annual rate in 2014 was primarily due to the non-availability of the Federal R&D tax credit, since Congress has not extended this benefit yet for 2014.
After a discrete expense of $7,000, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 48.9%. The discrete tax expense was primarily due to adjustments to the prior year domestic manufacturing deduction foreign tax credits |
