Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 14.1% and 12.9% for the quarters ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 14.1% and 14.2% for the nine months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, respectively. The higher effective income tax rate for the quarter ended September 28, 2019 compared to the quarter ended September 29, 2018 was primarily due to a net benefit recorded in the third quarter of 2018 related to a change in the Company’s provisional estimate regarding the overall impact of the Tax Act. Pursuant to the one-year measurement period allowed by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, the accounting for the impact of the Tax Act was completed in the fourth quarter of 2018.
The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as separate and combined income tax returns in numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. In the United States, the IRS began an examination of the Company’s 2015 and 2016 tax years during 2017 and 2018, respectively. The Company is also subject to examination by various state and foreign tax authorities. The tax years subject to examination vary by jurisdiction. The Company regularly assesses the outcomes of both ongoing and future examinations for the current or prior years to ensure the Company’s provision for income taxes is sufficient. The Company recognizes liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due and believes its reserves are adequate in relation to any potential assessments. The outcome of any one examination, some of which may conclude during the next 12 months, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
