NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES
Our forecasted annual effective tax rate at March 31, 2017 was 35.0%, as compared to 35.4% at March 31, 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, our effective tax rate was 31.4% and 35.5%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to excess stock compensation benefits in income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 resulting from the adoption of ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.
