Note 14. Income Taxes

We calculate the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. Due to various factors and operating in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions, our effective tax rate is subject to fluctuation. We recorded an effective tax rate benefit of 63.8 percent and 14.6 percent for the three and six months ended November 2, 2019, respectively, and an effective tax rate expense of 5.8 percent and 0.0 percent for the three and six months ended October 27, 2018. The changes in the effective tax rates are primarily driven by differences in estimated tax credits proportionate to estimated pre-tax book income for each period.

We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income taxes of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Fiscal years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 remain open to federal tax examinations, and fiscal years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 remain open for various state income tax examinations.  Certain subsidiaries are also subject to income tax in several foreign jurisdictions which have open tax years varying by jurisdiction beginning in fiscal 2009. In the event of any future tax assessments, we have elected to record the income taxes and any related interest and penalties as income tax expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

As of November 2, 2019, undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries were considered to be reinvested indefinitely. Additionally, we had $735 of unrecognized tax benefits which would reduce our effective tax rate if recognized.
