INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes was $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 23.7% and 20.5%, respectively, for the same periods. The effective tax rate is impacted by recurring permanent differences, such as those associated with bank-owned life insurance and tax-exempt investment and loan income.

The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $2.3 million and $2.8 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The decrease in the net deferred tax asset resulted primarily from the impact of changes in the fair value of securities available-for-sale, combined with reductions in net operating loss carryforwards and other book-to-tax temporary differences.
