For the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2021, we recognized income tax expense using an estimated effective annual tax rate. This resulted in an effective tax rate of 16.2%. For the 13 weeks ended March 31, 2020, we recognized income tax expense using a discrete tax calculation as we were unable to reliably estimate our full year effective income tax rate. This was primarily due to the inability to estimate the increased impact on the FICA tip and Work opportunity tax credits on our effective tax rate as a result of the significant decrease in our pre-tax income. This resulted in an effective tax rate benefit of 12.7%. Additionally, the FICA tip and Work opportunity tax credits exceeded our federal tax liability for fiscal year 2020 but we expect to fully utilize these credits in our 2021 tax year.
