Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes was $2.8 million and $2.3 million for the three and six months ended September 28, 2014, respectively, and $2.2 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended September 29, 2013, respectively. Income tax expense for the six months ended September 28, 2014 benefited from adjustments to previously recognized uncertain tax position liabilities as a result of additional information received during fiscal 2015 related to these tax positions and certain other discrete items. Income tax expense for the six months ended September 28, 2014 and September 29, 2013 was also impacted by the effect of a discrete tax related item associated with the difference between stock-based compensation expense and the deduction related to stock-based awards on income tax returns. The Company’s provision for income taxes is based on the estimated income for the year, the composition of the estimated income in different tax jurisdictions, and the tax effect, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods of newly enacted tax legislation, resolution of tax audits, changes in uncertain tax positions, and other discrete tax-related items. The allocation of taxable income to domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions impacts the effective tax rate, as the Company’s income tax rate in foreign jurisdictions is generally lower than its income tax rate in the United States.

The Company’s federal consolidated income tax returns for fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012 are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management does not believe that the results of this examination will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
