Note 10 – Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 0.2% and 25.9% for the 16 weeks ended April 18, 2020 and April 20, 2019, respectively. The difference from the federal statutory rate in the current year was primarily as a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and federal tax credits, partially offset by state taxes and stock-based compensation. In the prior year, the difference from the federal statutory rate was primarily due to state taxes and stock-based compensation, partially offset by federal tax credits.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted tax legislation to provide economic stimulus and support businesses and individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic, referred to as the CARES Act. In connection with initial analysis of the impact of the CARES Act, the Company recorded a net discrete income tax benefit of $4.3 million during the first quarter, associated with the additional deductibility of certain expenses combined with provisions which enable companies to carry back tax losses to years prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, where the federal statutory income tax rate was 35%.
