INCOME TAXES

 

We recorded an income tax expense of $6,311,000 related to income before taxes of $22,714,000 for the13 weeks ended December 27, 2020, resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.8%. For the 13 weeks ended December 29, 2019, we recorded an income tax expense of $1,871,000 related to income before taxes of $7,588,000 resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.7%.

 

The primary differences between these rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% are due to the effect of state taxes, non-deductible expenses including interest, and adjustments to reserves for uncertain tax positions, including any related interest.

 

We file a consolidated federal tax return, as well as combined and separate tax returns in approximately 27 state and local jurisdictions. We do not currently have any federal or material state income tax examinations in progress. Our income tax returns have generally been audited or closed to audit through 2013.

 

At September 27, 2020, we had approximately $46,066,000 of state net operating loss benefits.
