The effective income tax rates for our income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are less than the federal statutory rate, primarily due to the portion of income not subject to income taxes.

Our 2020 through 2023 tax years remain open to examination by tax authorities, and certain lower-tier partnership income tax returns for the tax years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 are being audited by the Internal Revenue Service.
