16. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company invests in low-income housing tax credit and solar tax funds that are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits. The Company accounts for these investments using the proportional amortization method, under which the cost of the investments is amortized over the life of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received. The amortization of tax credit investments is included as a component of the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income.

 

The following table presents the balances of the Company's tax credit investments recorded in other assets and related unfunded commitments recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
