INCOME TAXES

We recorded income tax expense of $4,513,000 related to income before taxes of $15,232,000 for the 13 weeks ended December 30, 2018. For the 13 weeks ended December 24, 2017, we recorded $19,690,000 in income tax benefit related to income before taxes of $15,637,000. The effective income tax rate for the 13 weeks ended December 30, 2018 and December 24, 2017 was a 29.6% expense and 125.9% benefit, respectively. Excluding the transitional impact from the 2017 Tax Act, the effective income tax rate for the 13 weeks ended December 24, 2017 was 33.1%.

The primary differences between these rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% are due to the effect of state taxes, non-deductible expenses, adjustments to reserves for uncertain tax positions, including any related interest, and mark-to-market adjustments to value the Warrants.

We file a consolidated federal tax return, as well as combined and separate tax returns in approximately 27 state and local jurisdictions. We do not currently have any federal or state income tax examinations in progress. Our income tax returns have generally been audited or closed to audit through 2012. See Note 10 for a discussion of our tax audits.

At September 25, 2018, we had approximately $63,048,000 of state net operating loss benefits. The Company consumed its federal net operating losses in the year ended September 30, 2018.
