16.Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate, calculated by dividing income tax expense by income before income taxes, was 28.7% for the first nine months of 2019 and 24.1% for the first nine months of 2018. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily driven by non-recurring favorable adjustments resulting from the adoption of the Tax Act included in the Company’s 2017 federal income tax return filed during the third quarter of 2018.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate, calculated by dividing income tax expense by income before income taxes minus net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, was 33.4% for the first nine months of 2019 and 32.5% for the first nine months of 2018.

 

The Company had uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of $2.5 million on September 29, 2019 and $3.1 million on December 30, 2018, all of which would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate if recognized. While it is expected the amount of uncertain tax positions may change in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect such change would have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Prior tax years beginning in year 2002 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, and various tax years beginning in year 1998 remain open to examination by certain state tax jurisdictions.
