Note 12. Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax benefit of $(203) on pre-tax income of $22,325 during the 13 weeks ended October 30, 2021, which represented an effective income tax rate of (0.9)% and an income tax benefit of $(1,694) on pre-tax income of $5,821 during the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020, which represented an effective income tax rate of (29.1)%.

We recorded income tax expense of $196 on a pre-tax loss of $(21,622) during the 26 weeks ended October 30, 2021, which represented an effective income tax rate of (0.9)%% and an income tax benefit of $(16,610) on a pre-tax loss of $(55,747) during the 26 weeks ended October 31, 2020, which represented an effective income tax rate of 29.8%.

In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management considered whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets would be realized. As of October 30, 2021, we determined that it was more likely than not that we would not realize certain deferred tax assets and our tax rate for the current fiscal year reflects this determination. We will continue to evaluate this position.The effective tax rate for the 26 weeks ended October 30, 2021 is lower as compared to the prior year comparable period due to the assessment of the realization of deferred tax assets and loss carrybacks recorded in the prior year.
