Income Taxes	10. Income Taxes Our income tax provision (benefit) for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 and 2017 was ($494.0) million and ($50.5) million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 15,472.2 percent and 32.3 percent, respectively. Our income tax provision (benefit) for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $10.5 million and ($10.5) million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 446.2 percent and 31.2 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 was impacted by discrete income tax adjustments related to the reduction of the federal statutory corporate income tax rate as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) which was enacted on December 22, 2017 and an increase in the deferred state income tax rate. The total related discrete income tax provision (benefit) recorded for these items for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2018 was ($491.4) million and $10.4 million, respectively. In addition, effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate (24.5 percent for fiscal 2018 and 35.0 percent for fiscal 2017) due to non-deductible permanent items and state and foreign income taxes. At June 30, 2018, we have not completed our accounting for all of the tax effects of the Act; however, we recorded a tax expense of $0.7 million related to the provisional tax benefit recorded under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 at March 31, 2017. This additional tax relates to the re-measurement of the estimated fiscal year 2018 ending deferred tax balances. In addition, we considered the impact of the statutory changes enacted by the Act, including those provisions effective for fiscal 2018, in our estimated annual effective tax rate and have recorded provisional amounts, based on reasonable estimates, in our income tax provision for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2018. These items include deductibility of certain employee fringe benefits and state income tax adjustments related to the Act. We continue to gather information related to these items and are waiting for further guidance from the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. For the next 12 months, we cannot predict with certainty whether we will achieve ultimate resolution of any uncertain tax positions associated with our U.S. and international operations that could result in increases or decreases of our unrecognized tax benefits. However, we do not expect the increases or decreases to have a material effect on our results of continuing operations or financial position.
