INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate of 22.3% for the first quarter of 2019 was slightly lower than the 2018 first quarter rate of 22.7%. The income tax rates for 2019 and 2018 were reduced by nontaxable municipal interest income and nontaxable income from certain bank-owned life insurance, and were increased by the non-deductibility of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) premiums, certain executive compensation and other fringe benefits.
We had a net deferred tax asset (“DTA”) balance of $73 million at March 31, 2019, compared with $130 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease in the net DTA resulted primarily from the decrease of accrued compensation and unrealized losses in OCI related to securities. A reduction of net deferred tax liabilities related to leasing operations, including deferred items associated with the adoption of ASC 842, offset some of the overall decrease in DTA.
