Note 9 – Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 24.6% and 0.2% for the 16 weeks ended April 24, 2021 and April 18, 2020, respectively. The differences from the federal statutory rate in the current year were primarily due to state taxes, partially offset by federal tax credits. In the prior year, the difference from the federal statutory rate was primarily the result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and federal tax credits, partially offset by state taxes and stock-based compensation.

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 the CARES Act, the Company recorded net discrete income tax benefits of $4.3 million in first quarter of 2020 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 (“Tax Reform”), when the federal statutory income tax rate was 35%. Additional tax benefits of $5.0 million were recognized related to the CARES Act in the remainder of 2020. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company received tax refunds totaling $25.7 million related to the amended prior year returns.
