NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the provision for income taxes was $195 million and $191 million, representing effective tax rates of 30% and 31%, respectively.
The provision for income taxes includes both federal and state income taxes and differs from the provision using statutory rates primarily due to favorable permanent tax items such as income from lending to tax exempt entities and federal tax credits from community reinvestment activities. The Company calculated the provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pre-tax income and adjusting for discrete items that occurred during the period.
