INCOME TAXES
Effective Tax Rate
Our quarterly income tax expense is measured using an estimated annual effective income tax rate. The comparison of effective income tax rates between periods may be significantly affected by discrete items recognized during the periods, the level and mix of earnings by tax jurisdiction and permanent differences.
For the three months ended March 29, 2019, we recorded income tax provisions of $1.7 million associated with income from operations before income taxes, compared to income tax provisions of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 30, 2018, representing effective income tax rates of 19.8% and 18.6%, respectively. This higher effective tax rate is a result of one time discretionary items. The effective income tax rates vary from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% due to state taxes, required tax income exclusions, nondeductible expenses and available deductions not reflected in book income.
Uncertain Tax Provisions
As of March 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018, unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions were $2.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
