The effective tax rate of the Company was 24.4% and 24.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and 15.9% and 26.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily related to state income taxes net of federal income tax benefits, estimated deduction limitations for executive compensation under Section 162(m), and tax credits for energy-efficient homes. The difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is primarily related to state income taxes net of federal income tax benefits, estimated deduction limitations for executive compensation, warrant fair market value adjustments, and tax credits for energy-efficient homes.
The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. Also, changes in existing federal and state tax laws and tax rates could affect future tax results and the valuation of the Company’s deferred tax assets.
The Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) of 2022 was enacted into law on August 16, 2022. The IRA introduced a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on average annual adjusted financial statement income for applicable corporations, and a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases made by publicly traded US corporations after December 31, 2022. The IRA also retroactively extended the federal tax credit for building new energy-efficient homes for homes delivered from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2032.
