Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 7 – Income Taxes: The Company calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with the accounting guidance for income taxes in interim periods. At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date income or loss. The tax expense or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, or judgment on the attainment of beginning-of-the-year deferred taxes in future years is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. The computation of the annual expected effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not may For the three September 30, 2019 $0.7 15.3% three September 30, 2018 $1.2 15.9% nine September 30, 2019 $2.2 19.4% nine September 30, 2018 $3.3 21.1% The difference between the statutory Federal income tax rate and the actual effective income tax rate is accounted for as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Statutory Federal income tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State and local income taxes, net of Federal income tax benefit 4.0 % 3.8 % 4.0 % 4.1 % Taxes attributable to foreign income (8.6 %) (6.8 %) (6.0 %) (5.8 %) GILTI tax 2.9 % 3.7 % 2.2 % 3.7 % Contingent liability adjustments (1.9 %) (2.7 %) (0.8 %) (1.9 %) Compensation related 0.3 % 1.6 % 0.2 % 1.4 % Non-deductible acquisition expense - 1.9 % - 1.8 % Federal tax credits (0.7 %) - (0.7 %) (0.5 %) Other (1.7 %) (6.6 %) (0.5 %) (2.7 %) Effective income tax rate 15.3 % 15.9 % 19.4 % 21.1 %
