5.	INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate for the 12 weeks ended March 24, 2015 was 29.8% compared to an effective income tax rate of 32.7% for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2014. The factors that cause the effective tax rates to vary from the federal statutory rate of 35% include the impact of FICA tip and other credits, partially offset by state income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses. The effective income tax rate for the 12 weeks ended March 24, 2015 also benefited from the settlement of uncertain tax positions within certain jurisdictions.
