NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared with $5.1 million for the three months ended July 1, 2017. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018, was 14.3%, and was 33.1% for the three months ended July 1, 2017. Income tax expense was $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared with $6.1 million for the six months ended July 1, 2017. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was 15.3%, and was 31.6% for the six months ended July 1, 2017.

Income tax expense in the three months ended June 30, 2018, and July 1, 2017, includes excess tax benefits relating to exercises of stock options and lapses of restrictions on stock awards, treated as a discrete item of income tax, totaling $3.0 million and $407 thousand, respectively. Income tax expense in the six months ended June 30, 2018, and July 1, 2017, includes excess tax benefits totaling $3.6 million and $795 thousand, respectively. Excluding this discrete item, the effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and July 1, 2017, would have been 25.8% and 35.8%, respectively. Excluding this discrete item, the effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and July 1, 2017, would have been 25.6% and 35.7%, respectively.

As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted effective on December 22, 2017, the section 199 domestic manufacturing deduction was repealed. As such, our effective tax rate, excluding the discrete items discussed above, approximates our current combined statutory federal and state rate of 25.6%. In 2017, the effective tax rate, excluding the effect of the discrete item discussed above, was lower than our then combined statutory federal and state tax rate of 38.8% primarily as the result of the estimated impact of the section 199 domestic manufacturing deduction.

At December 30, 2017, accrued federal and state income taxes payable of $6.5 million was classified within accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Internal Revenue Service provided tax relief relating to taxpayers in certain designated areas of Florida impacted by Hurricane Irma, which included all counties in Florida in which we operate. As a result, the deadline for remitting our required 2017 third quarter estimated payment for corporate income taxes, as well as the deadline for filing our 2016 fiscal year corporate income tax return, was extended to January 31, 2018. Therefore, in January 2018, we made an estimated Federal income tax payment totaling $9.0 million relating to the 2017 tax year. We made an additional estimated Federal income tax payment of $1.2 million, and an estimated income tax payment to Florida of $1.8 million, for our 2018 tax year in the second quarter of 2018. During the three or six months ended July 1, 2017, we did not make any payments of estimated federal or state income taxes, nor did we receive any refunds of federal or state income taxes.
