Income Taxes	NOTE M – Income Taxes Income tax expense for the six months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 reflected estimated annual effective income tax rates of 21.5% and 24.8%, respectively. The annual effective income tax rates exclude any impact from the inclusion of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of earnings (loss). Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests are primarily a result of our WSP, Spartan, Samuel and TWB consolidated joint ventures. The earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests in WSP, Spartan, Samuel and TWB’s U.S. operations do not generate tax expense to Worthington since the investors in WSP, Spartan, Samuel and TWB’s U.S. operations are taxed directly based on the earnings attributable to them. The tax expense of TWB’s wholly-owned foreign corporations is reported in our consolidated income tax expense (benefit). Management is required to estimate the annual effective income tax rate based upon its forecast of annual pre-tax income for domestic and foreign operations.
