Income Taxes Income TaxesEffective tax rates for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2022 and September 30, 2021 were based on the Company’s forecasted annualized effective tax rates and were adjusted for discrete items that occurred within each period. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 22.8% and 9.3% for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, and 22.7% and 14.9% for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2022, the effective income tax rate was higher than the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and other permanent differences including meals and entertainment expenses that were partially offset by tax deductions in excess of book expense related to stock option exercises. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2021, the effective income tax rate was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the recognition of income tax benefits from tax deductions in excess of book expense related to stock option exercises and other discrete items. On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which, among other things, implements a 15% minimum tax on book income of certain large corporations, a 1% excise tax on net stock repurchases and several tax incentives to promote clean energy. Based on our current analysis of the provisions, we do not believe this legislation will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
