| Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES We recorded a provision for income taxes of $2,307 and $2,205 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The estimated effective annualized tax rate impacted by the period discrete items is a provision of 10.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to a provision of 15.1% of estimated effective annualized tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The principal reasons for the difference between the statutory rate and the estimated annual effective rate for 2022 were the effects of investment tax credits which we are entitled from solar plants placed into service or are forecasted to be placed into service during 2022, state taxes, and the tax deductions related to the Section 179D deduction.
