(7) Income Taxes

The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $1,379 and $2,410 in the 13 weeks ended May 5, 2018 and April 29, 2017, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended May 5, 2018 and April 29, 2017 was 19.1% and 34.8%, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended May 5, 2018, was primarily due to US Tax reform enacted during 2017 which reduced the federal statutory tax rate of 35.0% to 21.0%. The Company’s effective tax rate will generally differ from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21.0%, due to state taxes, permanent items, and discrete items relating to stock shortfalls and retirement expenses for our former CEO.
