For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the provision for income taxes was $222 million and $534 million, respectively. The difference between the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate is primarily related to income in jurisdictions with tax rates higher than in the U.S. and losses with no tax benefit due to valuation allowances, partially offset by income subject to U.S. tax at an effective rate less than 21% due to valuation allowances. In addition, since we are a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes, any tax impacts associated with U.S. income or losses are recognized by our Members and not reflected in our tax expense.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the provision for income taxes was $145 million and $422 million, respectively.
