Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended August 25, 2013 was 20.7 percent compared to an effective income tax rate of 24.1 percent for the quarter ended August 26, 2012. The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the quarter ended August 25, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended August 26, 2012 is primarily attributable to an increase in the impact of FICA tax credits for employee reported tips and Work Opportunity Tax Credits due to lower earnings before income taxes.
Included in our remaining balance of unrecognized tax benefits is $18.7 million related to tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts could change within the next twelve months based on the outcome of examinations or as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions.
