Note 13. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes comprised the following:
Years Ended December 31,
2007 2006 2005
(Dollars in millions)
Current expense:
Federal $765 $668 $637

Provision for income taxes $836 $945 $813
The foreign income tax expense is related to income generated on assets controlled by a foreign subsidiary of
Branch Bank.
The reasons for the difference between the provision for income taxes and the amount computed by applying
the statutory Federal income tax rate to income before income taxes were as follows:
Years Ended December 31,
2007 2006 2005
(Dollars in millions)
Federal income taxes at statutory rate of 35% $ 900 $ 866 $ 863
Increase (decrease) in provision for income taxes as a result of:
Addition to federal tax reserves principally related to leveraged lease transactions 19 141 21
State income taxes, net of Federal tax benefit 33 31 22
Tax exempt income (73) (62) (61)
Other, net (43) (31) (32)
Provision for income taxes $ 836 $ 945 $ 813
Effective income tax rate 32.5% 38.2% 33.0%
BB&T has entered into certain transactions that have favorable tax treatment. These transactions include
loans and investments that produce tax-exempt income, reducing BB&T’s effective tax rate from the statutory
rate.
