| Income Taxes | NOTE N. INCOME TAXES For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded total income tax expense of $47 million and $88 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was 19%. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded total income tax expense of $47 million and $82 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was 20% and 19%, respectively. The need to establish a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets is assessed periodically based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold, in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance. Appropriate consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence related to that realization. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of recent losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry-forward periods, experience with tax attributes expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives. The weight given to these considerations depends upon the degree to which they can be objectively verified. Management has determined, based on an evaluation of available objective and subjective evidence, that it is more likely than not that certain federal and state deferred tax assets will not be realized; therefore, these deferred tax assets are offset with a valuation allowance. |
