INCOME TAXES
Income Tax Provision (Benefit)
The provision for income taxes was $85 million and $76 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This resulted in an effective tax rate of 31% and 35% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The provision (benefit) for income taxes was $317 million and $(98) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The provision represented an effective tax rate of 32% and 3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the effective tax rate compared favorably to the statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of tax credits and the permanent benefit of tax-exempt income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the effective tax rate compared favorably to the statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of the tax rate impact of a goodwill impairment charge.
Deferred Tax Liability
At September 30, 2014, the Company reported a net deferred tax liability of $354 million, compared to a $199 million liability as of December 31, 2013. The increase in the net deferred tax liability is primarily attributable to the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, in addition to a decrease in the unrealized loss reported on securities AFS, derivative instruments, and hedging activities, which were both partially offset by a decrease in the deferred tax liability related to temporary differences.
