Note 8.  Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rates for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021 were 25.6% and 25.5%, respectively, compared to 20.9% and 22.4% in the same 2020 periods, respectively. The increase in our effective income tax rates were mainly due to the significant increases in our profitability in 2021. The differences between our effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% were mainly due to state income taxes partially offset by the effects of company-owned life insurance policies.
