Mar. 31, 2022
Income Taxes [Line Items] |
Schedule Of Effective Income Tax Rates | Overall effective income tax rates, which were computed by dividing income tax expense (benefit) by income before income taxes, were as follows. The effective income tax rates were different than the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, production tax credits, amortization of excess deferred taxes and the effect of rate-making on property-related differences. The increases in Alliant Energy’s and WPL’s overall effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 were primarily due to decreased amortization of excess deferred taxes primarily at WPL.
