Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended November 27, 2016 was 25.5 percent compared to an effective income tax rate benefit of 23.4 percent for the quarter ended November 29, 2015. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended November 27, 2016 was 26.2 percent compared to an effective income tax rate of 18.4 percent for the six months ended November 29, 2015. Excluding the tax impact of costs related to implementation of our real estate plan, strategic action plan and other costs, and debt retirement costs recognized during fiscal 2016, our effective tax rates would have been approximately 18.5 percent and 25.0 percent for the quarter and six months ended November 29, 2015, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate for the quarter and six months ended November 27, 2016 as compared to the quarter and six months ended November 29, 2015, excluding these impacts, is primarily attributable to the unfavorable impact of FICA tax credits for employee reported tips and Work Opportunity Tax Credits on higher earnings before income taxes.
Included in our remaining balance of unrecognized tax benefits is $0.6 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.
