Income Taxes
Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”) requires companies to apply their estimated annual effective tax rate on a year-to-date basis in each interim period. These rates are derived, in part, from expected annual pre-tax income or loss. In the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2021 and the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2020, the Company applied an estimated annual effective tax rate to the interim period pre-tax loss to calculate the income tax benefit.

For the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2021, the effective income tax rate was 42.6%. The Company recorded an income tax benefit for the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2021 of $6,653. The effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2021 was the result of an estimated increase in GILTI from the Company's Canadian operations, state and foreign income taxes, non-deductible transaction expenses, and non-deductible stock compensation.

For the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2020, the effective income tax rate was 22.3%. The Company recorded an income tax benefit for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2020 of $4,237. The effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2020 was the result of state and foreign income taxes, and non-deductible stock compensation expenses.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) into law. The CARES Act provided a stimulus package intended to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the American economy and provided tax relief for businesses. The Company analyzed the available stimulus provisions and recognized certain benefits including the deferral of payroll taxes, accelerated Alternative Minimum Tax income tax refunds, and increased business interest deductions.
