Income Taxes

Note 5 Income Taxes

The effective tax rate on Income before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 99.9% and 70.8%, respectively. These effective tax rates were higher than normal due primarily to the decrease in Income before income taxes which increased the effective tax rate impact of recurring tax adjustments including nondeductible interest and compensation expenses, as well as discrete increases in valuation allowances which reduced net state deferred tax assets.

The effective tax rate on Income before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was 40.4% and 36.7%, respectively. These effective tax rates reflect a combined rate of federal and state taxes, adjusted for impacts of recurring tax adjustments including nondeductible interest and compensation expenses.
