Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

8.	Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate reflects the effect of federal and state income taxes on earnings and the impact of differences in book and tax accounting arising primarily from the permanent tax benefits associated with the statutory depletion deduction for mineral reserves. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the effective income tax rate was 21.2%. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective income tax rate of 20.2% reflected a $6.9 million discrete benefit from financing third-party railroad track maintenance. In exchange, the Company received a federal income tax credit and deduction.

The Company records interest accrued in relation to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, are recorded as operating expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings.

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.
