INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded income tax expense of $20,638 and $18,413 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, or 23.0% of earnings before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 23.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The effective tax rate for both periods is driven by the impact of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, offset by non-deductible expenses including non-deductible compensation.

The Company is not currently under examination by any major income tax jurisdiction. During 2024, the statutes of limitations will lapse on the Company's 2020 federal tax year and certain 2019 and 2020 state tax years. The Company does not believe the federal or state statute lapses or any other event will significantly impact the balance of unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. The net balance of unrecognized tax benefits was not material to the Interim Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
