Income Taxes	7. Income Taxes CRA’s effective income tax rates were 24.6% and 29.8% for the fiscal quarters ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was lower than the prior year due to increases in the tax benefit related to foreign-derived intangible income and the accounting for stock-based compensation, a decrease in non-deductible meals and entertainment, and the true-up of the estimated annual run rate driven by an increase in forecasted profit as a result of strong earnings in the second quarter. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was lower than the combined federal and state statutory tax rate due to the same drivers, partially offset by non-deductible items resulting from the limitations on the deductibility of compensation paid to executive officers and the deductibility of meals and entertainment. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was higher than the combined federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to non-deductible items resulting from limitations on the deductibility of compensation paid to executive officers and the deductibility of meals and entertainment. CRA’s effective income tax rates were 27.2% and 27.1% for the fiscal year-to-date periods ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate for the fiscal year-to-date period ended June 27, 2020 was comparable to the prior year. The effective tax rates for both fiscal year-to-date periods were the same as the combined federal and state statutory tax rate but included the effect of offsetting adjustments primarily driven by the tax benefit on stock-based compensation and non-deductible items resulting from limitations on the deductibility of compensation paid to executive officers and the deductibility of meals and entertainment. CRA has not provided for deferred income taxes or foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings and other basis differences that may exist from its foreign subsidiaries as of June 27, 2020, because such earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. CRA does not rely on these unremitted earnings as a source of funds for its domestic business as it expects to have sufficient cash flow in the U.S. to fund its U.S. operational and strategic needs. If CRA were to repatriate its foreign earnings that are indefinitely reinvested, it would accrue substantially no additional tax expense.
