Income Taxes

Under the asset and liability method prescribed under ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The realizability of deferred tax assets is assessed throughout the year and a valuation allowance is recorded, if necessary, to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. As of June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, the Company had a valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets of $1.2 million related to unused California Enterprise Zone Tax Credits, which the Company will no longer be able to carry forward beyond 2024 as a result of California’s termination of this program.

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and files tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. The statutes of limitations for consolidated federal income tax returns are open for fiscal years 2016 and after, and state and local income tax returns are open for fiscal years 2015 and after. 

The provision for income taxes for the 26 weeks ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019 reflects the write-off of deferred tax assets of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, related to share-based compensation.

On March 27, 2020, the Federal government enacted the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act to provide relief from the impact of COVID-19. Among other relief, the CARES Act allows companies with a net operating loss (“NOL”) in either 2018, 2019 or 2020 to carry back those losses five years. As a result, the Company amended its 2018 income tax return to carry back its 2018 NOL to a period with a higher statutory tax rate in effect at that time, and received a related income tax refund of $2.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

As of June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits including those that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate over the next 12 months. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expense. As of June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties.
