Income Taxes

Our income tax provision for the second quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021 reflects our estimate of the effective tax rates expected to be applicable for the full fiscal years, adjusted for any discrete events, which are recorded in the period in which they occur. The estimates are reevaluated each quarter based on our estimated tax expense for the full fiscal year.

Our effective tax rate was 21% in the second fiscal quarter of both 2022 and 2021.There were no significant discrete tax items in the second fiscal quarter of either 2022 or 2021.

Our federal income tax returns have been examined or are closed by statute for all years prior to fiscal year 2018. Our state income tax returns have been examined or are closed by statute for all years prior to fiscal year 2017.

Tax authorities for certain non-U.S. jurisdictions are also examining returns. With some exceptions, we are generally not subject to tax examinations in non-U.S. jurisdictions for years prior to fiscal year 2016 because they are closed by statute.
