Note 9.  Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate, adjusted for permanent differences and specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred. The effective tax rate was 22.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and 22.7% for the same periods in 2025. The difference between the effective tax rate and the marginal rate is primarily due to the effect of state and local taxes.
