14. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $14,396 and $14,276, respectively. The effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were 18.9% and 20.8%, respectively. These rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a federal tax credit for the sale of energy efficient homes under the Internal Revenue Code §45L, partially offset by state income taxes. The §45L tax credit was initially established under the Federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 and was extended through December 31, 2032 by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
