9.    Income Taxes



BBX Capital and its subsidiaries were included in the consolidated federal income and certain state income tax returns of BVH through the date of the spin-off from BVH. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements allocates taxable income to the Company as if the Company was a separate taxpayer under the separate return basis. 



Effective income tax rates for interim periods are based upon the Company’s current estimated annual rate, which varies based upon the Company’s estimate of taxable earnings or loss and the mix of taxable earnings or loss in the various states in which the Company operates. The Company’s effective tax rate was applied to income or loss before income taxes reduced by net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in joint ventures taxed as partnerships. In addition, the Company recognizes taxes related to unusual or infrequent items or resulting from a change in judgment regarding a position taken in a prior period as discrete items in the interim period in which the event occurs.



The Company’s effective income tax rate was approximately 17% and 22% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was different than the expected federal income tax rate of 21% due to the impact of a change in the Company’s forecasted operating results for the annual period, which resulted in the reversal of the tax benefit recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020.



The Company’s effective income tax rate was approximately 29% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was different than the expected federal income tax rate of 21% due to the impact of the Company’s nondeductible executive compensation and state income taxes.
