The effective tax rates differ from the statutory federal tax rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, largely due to tax exempt interest income earned on certain investment securities and loans and the nontaxable earnings on bank owned life insurance, as well as lower net income in the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to a large ACL provision related to COVID-19.
