Income Taxes Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Prior to 2019, the Company had recorded valuation allowances for certain tax attributes and deferred tax assets due to the existence of sufficient uncertainty regarding the future realization of those deferred tax assets through future taxable income. Based on its recent financial performance and current forecasts of future operating results, the Company conducts a quarterly analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets related to its net operating loss carryforwards will be utilized in future periods. The Company's effective tax rate in any given period is directly impacted by the timing and magnitude of any partial valuation allowance releases.
The Company's effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 differ from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to impact of state income taxes and stock compensation shortfall/windfall adjustments. The Company's effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 differ from the standard federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of a $1.4 million valuation release as well as state income taxes and stock compensation shortfall/windfall adjustments.
