Effective Tax Rate
During the three-month period ended October 28, 2023, the benefit from income taxes was $0.4 million and during the nine-month period ended October 28, 2023, the provision for income taxes was $8.4 million. During the three- and nine-month periods ended October 29, 2022, the provision for income taxes was $4.1 million and $23.5 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods ended October 28, 2023 were 12.5% and 34.8%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods ended October 29, 2022 were 36.3% and 30.3%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended October 28, 2023 as compared to the three months ended October 29, 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in income before provision for income taxes during the three months ended October 28, 2023 as compared to the three months ended October 29, 2022 and an increase in state income taxes relative to loss before benefit from income taxes for the three months ended October 28, 2023, partially offset by a decrease in the amount of non-deductible compensation for covered employees and state income taxes relative to loss before benefit from income taxes for the three months ended October 28, 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 28, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended October 29, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in the amount of non-deductible compensation for covered employees and state income taxes relative to income before provision for income taxes for the nine months ended October 28, 2023.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IR Act") was enacted to reduce inflation and promote clean energy in the United States. Among other things, the IR Act introduced a 15% alternative minimum tax based on the adjusted financial statement income of corporations or their predecessors with a three-year taxable year average annual adjusted financial statement income in excess of $1 billion and imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchases made by covered corporations after December 31, 2022. In addition, the current administration has announced a proposal to increase such excise tax to 4%. The IR Act also includes provisions intended to mitigate climate change by, among others, providing tax credit incentives for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. We have considered the applicable IR Act tax law changes in our tax provision for the three- and nine-month periods ended October 28, 2023, and continue to evaluate the impact of these tax law changes on future periods.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by taxing authorities. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of the relevant risks, facts and circumstances existing at the time. We believe that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact our effective tax rate. As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, the total liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $3.8 million ($3.3 million, net of federal benefit). As of the end of fiscal year 2022, the total liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $3.8 million ($3.3 million, net of federal benefit). Our effective tax rate will be affected by any portion of this liability we may recognize.
We believe that it is reasonably possible that $1.7 million ($1.6 million net of federal benefit) of our liability for unrecognized tax benefits, of which the associated interest and penalties are not material, may be recognized in the next 12 months due to the expiration of statutes of limitations.
