The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The Act’s primary impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements was its reduction of the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. The Company determined a reasonable estimate of the income tax effects of the Act and recorded provisional amounts within its consolidated financial statements during fiscal 2017. During the three months ended November 3, 2018, the Company recognized tax benefits of approximately $1.5 million related to an update of the provisional amounts previously recorded to net deferred tax liabilities, based upon the filing of its federal income tax return. The Company continues to analyze additional information and guidance related to certain aspects of the Act, including, but not limited to, limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation, conformity or changes by state taxing authorities in response to the Act, and any impact on the final determination of the net deferred tax liabilities. The final income tax effects of the Act may differ from the provisional amounts recorded due to, among other factors, anticipated guidance to be released, including IRS notices, and any resulting changes in the Company’s interpretation and application of the Act. The Company will finalize its accounting for the income tax effects of the Act within the one-year measurement period provided under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118.

During the three and nine months ended November 3, 2018, income taxes differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to tax benefits recognized of approximately $1.5 million for an update to the provisional amounts previously recorded related to the Act; additional prior year federal tax credits of approximately $1.4 million; and current year federal tax credits partially offset by the effect of state and local income tax expense.

During the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes offset by tax benefits recognized for federal tax credits. During the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017, tax benefits recognized for federal tax credits includes tax benefits related to legislation enacted on September 29, 2017 providing an employee retention credit to employers impacted by 2017 hurricanes.
