13.     Income Taxes


We recorded income tax expense of $2.8 million for the fiscal 2019 third quarter compared to $4.0 million for the comparable prior year period. The effective tax rates for the fiscal 2019 and 2018 third quarters were 22.9% and 35.7%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018 were 23.0% and 34.9%, respectively. Our effective tax rate was lower in the fiscal 2019 third quarter and first nine months as a result of the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, partially offset by increased state income taxes. We adopted ASU 2014-09 and 2018-02 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The adoptions resulted in the reclassification of $120,000 from federal tax payable and $111,000 from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, both to retained earnings.


The net unrecognized tax benefits as of October 28, 2018 and January 28, 2018, which, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate are $82,000 and $80,000, respectively.


Tax years ending February 1, 2015 through January 28, 2018 remain subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities.
