| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were expenses of 15.8% and 18.4%, respectively, which differ from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the benefit of tax credits purchased at a discount and the benefit of noncontrolling interest for which we do not provide income taxes, partially offset by state income taxes and other permanent differences. The effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were expenses of 22.7% and 23.8%, respectively, which differ from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes, foreign income taxes, and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by the benefit of noncontrolling interest for which we do not provide income taxes, excess tax benefits associated with equity-based compensation, and changes in state tax laws enacted in the second quarter. Deferred income taxes related to railcars in our lease fleet were $1.1 billion as of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 allows a company to purchase transferable tax credits. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we purchased $40.0 million in tax credits for approximately $38.4 million in cash. These credits were used to offset the Company’s federal income tax liability for 2024, which resulted in the recognition of a tax benefit of $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "Act") was enacted. The Act includes multiple business tax provisions, including the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation and a change in the calculation of deductible interest expense. We are currently evaluating the impact of these provisions on our overall financial position.
