Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the quarter and six months ended November 24, 2013 was (9.4) percent and 15.6 percent, respectively, compared to an effective income tax rate of 21.8 percent and 23.6 percent for the quarter and six months ended November 25, 2012, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the quarter and six months ended November 24, 2013 as compared to the quarter and six months ended November 25, 2012 is primarily attributable to an increase in the impact of FICA tax credits for employee reported tips and Work Opportunity Tax Credits on lower earnings before income taxes in addition to favorable resolution of prior year tax matters expensed in prior years.
Included in our remaining balance of unrecognized tax benefits is $16.8 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.
