Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $3.6 million and $3.9 million for the quarters ended March 27, 2013 and March 28, 2012, respectively. For the 2013 period, the difference in the overall effective rate from the U.S. Statutory rate was due to a discrete tax item. The passage of the American Tax Payer Relief Act of 2012, enacted in January 2013, resulted in a deferred tax benefit of $0.5 million related to work opportunity credits generated in 2012, which were allowed retroactively. The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 2012 was determined using our effective rate estimated for the entire fiscal year.
