INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items occurring during the quarter. The effective tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014 and November 2, 2013 were 34.4% and 57.7%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 and November 2, 2013 were 36.8% and 67.4%, respectively. The Fiscal 2013 year-to-date effective tax rate reflects a benefit resulting from the settlement of certain state tax audits and a $4.9 million benefit related to other discrete tax matters in the third quarter.

Income taxes paid directly to taxing authorities, net of refunds received, for the thirteen weeks ended November 1, 2014 and November 2, 2013 were approximately $7.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Income taxes paid directly to taxing authorities, net of refunds received, for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 and November 2, 2013 were approximately $68.4 million and $109.2 million, respectively. These amounts include payments and refunds for income and withholding taxes incurred related to the current year and prior years.
