Income Taxes
Income Taxes	Note 12: Income Taxes We determine our tax provision using an estimated annual effective tax rate and adjusting for discrete taxable events that occur during the quarter. We recognize the effects of tax legislation in the period in which the law is enacted. We re-measure our deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years we estimate the related temporary differences to reverse. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law. Most of its provisions are effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Because we are a fiscal year U.S. taxpayer, the majority of the provisions, such as eliminating the domestic manufacturing deduction, new taxes on certain foreign-sourced income and new limitations on certain business deductions, began applying to us in fiscal 2019. In December of 2017, the SEC staff issued SAB 118, which provides that companies that have not completed their accounting for the effects of the Tax Act but can determine a reasonable estimate of those effects should include a provisional amount based on their reasonable estimate in their financial statements. The guidance in SAB 118 also allows companies to adjust the provisional amounts during a one year measurement period which is similar to the measurement period used when accounting for business combinations. We continue to analyze provisions of the Tax Act and review guidance issued from regulators to determine if they will impact our effective tax rate in fiscal 2019 or in the future. As of July 28, 2018, we have not recorded any adjustments to our provisional estimates previously recorded as of the prior year end related to the transition tax. We will continue to refine our provisional adjustments through the permissible measurement period, which is not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was 22.8% compared with 35.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Our effective tax rate varies from the 21% statutory rate primarily due to state taxes. Absent discrete adjustments, our effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 would have been 24.4%.
