Income Taxes         Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates in effect for the year the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Tax rate changes affecting deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in income at the enactment date. We have not recorded deferred taxes when earnings from foreign operations are considered to be indefinitely invested outside the U.S. Such amounts are not significant. <div style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0pt; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 0%; WIDTH: 70%; PADDING-TOP: 0pt; POSITION: relative; TEXT-ALIGN: left">   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="left"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" width="12"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right" width="6"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" width="81"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" width="12"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right" width="6"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" width="81"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" width="12"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right" width="6"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" width="81"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" width="12"></td></tr> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 1.5pt; HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1pt solid; FONT-FAMILY: arial" valign="bottom" colspan="10"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="bottom"> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="left">Tax Rate Reconciliation </th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right" colspan="2">2009 </th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right" colspan="2">2008 </th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right" colspan="2">2007 </th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </th></tr> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 1.5pt; HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1pt solid; FONT-FAMILY: arial" valign="bottom" colspan="10"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="bottom" bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> Federal statutory rate</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right">35.0</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial">%</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right">35.0</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial">%</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right">35.0</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial">%</td></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="bottom" bgcolor="white"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right">3.8</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right">4.0</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right">4.0</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="bottom" bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> Other</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right">(3.1</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial">)</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right">(1.6</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial">)</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right">(0.6</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial">)</td></tr> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 1.5pt; HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1pt solid; FONT-FAMILY: arial" valign="bottom" colspan="10"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="bottom" bgcolor="white"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> Effective tax rate</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right">35.7</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial">%</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right">37.4</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial">%</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right">38.4</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial">%</td></tr> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 1.5pt; HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 2.25pt solid; FONT-FAMILY: arial" valign="bottom" colspan="10"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" valign="bottom"> </td></tr></table> </div>         The decrease in the effective rates between 2009 and 2008 is primarily due to nontaxable capital market returns on investments used to economically hedge the market risk in deferred compensation obligations in 2009 compared with nondeductible losses in 2008. The 2009 effective income tax rate is also lower due to federal and state discrete items. The decrease in 2008 was primarily due to tax reserve reductions resulting from audit settlements and the effective resolution of other issues. The 2008 effective income tax rate was also lower due to a comparatively greater proportion of earnings subject to rate differences between taxing jurisdictions. These rate declines were partially offset by lower capital market returns on investments used to economically hedge the market risk in deferred compensation plans. Gains and losses from these investments are not taxable. <div style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0pt; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 0%; WIDTH: 70%; PADDING-TOP: 0pt; POSITION: relative; TEXT-ALIGN: left">   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="left" width="9"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="left"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" width="12"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right" width="6"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" width="81"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" width="12"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right" width="6"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" width="81"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" width="12"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" align="right" width="6"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" width="81"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" width="12"></td></tr> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 1.5pt;

In addition, the reversal of accrued penalties and interest would also benefit the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefit liabilities are recorded within income tax expense. During the year ended January 30, 2010, we reversed accrued penalties and interest of approximately $10 million. During the years ended January 31, 2009 and February 2, 2008, we recognized approximately $33 million, and $37 million, respectively, in interest and penalties. We had accrued for the payment of interest and penalties of approximately $127 million at January 30, 2010 and $153 million at January 31, 2009.         Included in the balance at January 30, 2010 and January 31, 2009 are $133 million and $116 million, respectively, of liabilities for tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain, but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate, but would accelerate the cash payment to the taxing authority to an earlier period. During 2010, we will file a tax accounting method change allowed under applicable tax regulations that will determine the timing of deductions for one of our tax positions. Accordingly, this change will result in a decrease in the unrecognized tax benefit liability of approximately $130 million in the next twelve months. Additionally, it is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit liabilities with respect to other of our unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease during the next twelve months; however, we do not currently expect any change to have a significant effect on our results of operations or our financial position.         During 2009, we filed income tax returns that included tax accounting method changes allowed under applicable tax regulations. These changes resulted in a substantial increase in tax deductions related to property and equipment, resulting in an increase in noncurrent deferred income tax liabilities of approximately $300 million and a corresponding increase in current income taxes receivable, which is classified as other current assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. These changes did not affect income tax expense for 2009. </td></tr></table> 22.
