Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was enacted on August 16, 2022 to address the high cost of prescription drugs, healthcare availability, climate change and inflation. The IRA extended the energy efficient homes credit through 2032 and, as a result, the Company recognized a $0.6 million tax benefit for energy efficient homes credit during the first three months of 2024. The Company recognized a $0.9 million tax benefit for energy efficient homes credit in 2023's first three months.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a tax provision of $42.2 million and $32.9 million, respectively, which reflects income tax expense related to income before income taxes for the periods. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was 23.4% and 24.2%, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate from the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to an increase in tax benefit from equity compensation in 2024.
