7. | INCOME TAXES
The provision (benefit) for income taxes consisted of the following:
|  | (In thousands) |
|  | Fiscal |  |  | Fiscal |  |  | Fiscal |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |
Current |  | $ | 55,039 |  |  | $ | 54,422 |  |  | $ | 32,806 |
Deferred |  |  | 676 |  |  |  | 1,358 |  |  |  | (1,299 | )
Total |  | $ | 55,715 |  |  | $ | 55,780 |  |  | $ | 31,507 |
Deferred taxes are recorded to give recognition to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Valuation allowances are established to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets when it is deemed more likely than not that the benefit of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities as of April 28, 2018 and April 29, 2017 consisted of the following:
|  | (In thousands) |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Deferred tax assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Accrued expenses and other |  | $ | 2,900 |  |  | $ | 4,740 |
Inventory and amortizable assets |  |  | 331 |  |  |  | 538 |
Total deferred tax assets |  |  | 3,231 |  |  |  | 5,278 |
Deferred tax liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Property |  |  | 14,858 |  |  |  | 15,157 |
Intangibles and other |  |  | 2,875 |  |  |  | 2,208 |
Total deferred tax liabilities |  |  | 17,733 |  |  |  | 17,365 |
Net deferred tax liabilities |  | $ | 14,502 |  |  | $ | 12,087 |
The reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to our effective tax rate is as follows:
|  | Fiscal |  |  | Fiscal |  |  | Fiscal |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |
Statutory federal income tax rate |  |  | 30.4 | % |  |  | 35.0 | % |  |  | 35.0 | %
State income taxes, net of federal benefit |  |  | 2.4 |  |  |  | 2.2 |  |  |  | 2.2 |
Domestic manufacturing deduction benefit |  |  | (2.4 | ) |  |  | (3.0 | ) |  |  | (3.0 | )
Remeasurement of deferred taxes |  |  | (2.9 | ) |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |
Other differences |  |  | (.4 | ) |  |  | .1 |  |  |  | (.2 | )
Effective income tax rate |  |  | 27.1 | % |  |  | 34.3 | % |  |  | 34.0 | %
As of April 28, 2018, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $1.7 million and $191 thousand was recognized as a tax expense in Fiscal 2018. If we were to prevail on all uncertain tax positions, the net effect would be to reduce our tax expense by approximately $1.4 million. A reconciliation of the changes in the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits, which amounts are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, is as follows:
|  | (In thousands) |
|  | Fiscal |  |  | Fiscal |  |  | Fiscal |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 1,743 |  |  | $ | 1,678 |  |  | $ | 1,801 |
Increases due to current period tax positions |  |  | 204 |  |  |  | 150 |  |  |  | 145 |
Decreases due to lapse of statute of limitations and audit resolutions |  |  | (214 | ) |  |  | (85 | ) |  |  | (268 | )
Ending balance |  | $ | 1,733 |  |  | $ | 1,743 |  |  | $ | 1,678 |
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of April 28, 2018, unrecognized tax benefits included accrued interest of $238 thousand. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law. The Tax Act makes changes to the U.S. tax code, including reducing the U.S. federal tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The phasing in of the lower corporate income tax rate results in a blended federal statutory rate of 30.4% for our fiscal 2018, compared with the previous 35% rate. The federal statutory tax rate will be reduced to 21% in subsequent fiscal years. Included in the effective tax rate for Fiscal 2018 is a one -time adjustment reducing income tax expense to remeasure previous deferred tax liabilities of $4.3 million. We file annual income tax returns in the United States and in various state and local jurisdictions. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position, for which we have unrecognized tax benefits, is resolved. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, we believe that our unrecognized tax benefits reflect the most probable outcome. We adjust these unrecognized tax benefits, as well as the related interest, in light of changing facts and circumstances. The resolution of any particular uncertain tax position could require the use of cash and an adjustment to our provision for income taxes in the period of resolution. Federal income tax returns for fiscal years subsequent to 2015 are subject to examination. Generally, the income tax returns for the various state jurisdictions are subject to examination for fiscal years ending after fiscal 2011.
