12.   Income Taxes

 

We recorded income tax expense of $3.0 million for the fiscal 2021 third quarter compared to $1.1 million for the comparable prior year period. The effective tax rates for the fiscal 2021 and 2020 third quarters were 22.9% and 21.4%, respectively. We recorded income tax benefit of $6.3 million for the fiscal 2021 first nine months, of which income tax benefit of $10.7 million was recorded related to goodwill and trade name impairment charges, compared to $2.8 million income tax expense for the comparable prior year period. The effective tax rates for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 and 2020 were 24.8% and 21.9%, respectively.

 

An entity is required to make its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year at the end of each interim period and to use this rate to calculate its income taxes on a year-to-date basis. Under the current income tax guidance, there is an exception that when the year-to-date loss for an interim period exceeds the projected loss for the full fiscal year, the income tax benefit recognized year-to-date is limited to the amount of benefit that would be recognized if the year-to-date loss were the anticipated loss for the full fiscal year. ASU 2019-12 removes this exception and no longer limits the computed benefit. We elected to early adopt ASU 2019-12 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and recognized an additional $4.0 million of income tax benefits upon adoption. In the nine months period, we recognized additional $2.4 million of income tax benefit.

 

The net unrecognized tax benefits as of November 1, 2020 and February 2, 2020, which, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate are $3,000.

 

Tax years ending January 29, 2017 through February 2, 2020 remain subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities.
