Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2020 and September 29, 2019 was 24.2% and 13.5%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due an increase for state income taxes, partially offset by (1) a reduction for the benefit of share-based compensation and (2) a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits due to a lapse of statute of limitations during the three months ended September 29, 2019.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 27, 2020 and September 29, 2019 was 24.8% and 20.5%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to an increase for state income taxes, partially offset by (1) a reduction for the benefit of share-based compensation and (2) a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits due to a lapse of statute of limitations during the nine months ended September 29, 2019.

There were no significant changes to the unrecognized tax benefits or related interest and penalties for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020. During the next twelve months, we believe it is reasonably possible the Company will reduce unrecognized tax benefits by up to $1,344 due primarily to the lapse of statutes of limitations and expected settlements.

The current portion of refundable income taxes was $7,089 and $13,555 as of September 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019, respectively, and is included in “Accounts and notes receivable, net” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no long-term refundable income taxes as of September 27, 2020 and December 29, 2019.
