Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates. The Company reviews its deferred tax assets regularly for recoverability. As of June 30, 2024, we determined that we did not need a valuation allowance on our gross deferred tax asset. Although realization of the deferred tax assets is not assured, management believes that it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized based on our expectation that we will be able to fully utilize the deductions that are ultimately recognized for tax purposes.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there was no current reporting period activity recorded in the operating statement or the balance sheet related to uncertain tax positions.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 26.1% compared to 23.9% for the same period last year. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 27.6% compared to 25.0% for the same period last year. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate as follows:
