13. Income Taxes:
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 25.2%, compared to 27.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 28.3%, compared to 32.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s effective income tax rate fluctuated primarily due to a reduced discrete tax impact related to a stock compensation shortfall and a discrete tax benefit associated with state and local tax law changes.
The difference between the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and the Company’s effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was mainly due to state and local taxes, a discrete shortfall tax expense related to stock compensation, a discrete tax expense associated with the recording of accrued penalties and interest associated with historical uncertain tax positions, and a discrete tax benefit connected to state and local tax law changes.
