Taxes Income Taxes
For interim periods, accounting standards require that income tax expense be determined by applying the estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date results, unless this method does not result in a reliable estimate of year-to-date income tax expense. Each period, the income tax accrual is adjusted to the latest estimate and the difference from the previously accrued year-to-date balance is adjusted to the current quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our income tax provision was $29.6 million as compared to $29.3 million in the same period in 2022. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 24.7%, which varied from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the effects of state taxes and nondeductible compensation. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 36.1%, which varied from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to adjustments in tax positions under audit related to the disallowance of a previously taken federal tax credits based upon interpretation of the law, the effects of state taxes, and nondeductible compensation.
