Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes INCOME TAXES
We recorded an income tax benefit of $2.7 million related to loss before taxes of $4.4 million for the three months ended June 29, 2025, and an income tax benefit of $1.3 million related to loss before income taxes of $31.2 million for the nine months ended June 29, 2025. We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.8 million related to loss before taxes of $4.5 million for the three months ended June 23, 2024, and an income tax benefit of $3.4 million related to a loss before income taxes of $17.5 million for the nine months ended June 23, 2024. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2025, was 61.4% and 4.2%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 23, 2024, were 18.7% and 19.6%, respectively.
The primary differences between these rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% are because of state taxes, non-deductible expenses, increase in valuation allowance, and adjustments to reserves for uncertain tax positions, including any related interest.
We file a consolidated federal tax return, as well as combined and separate tax returns in approximately 27 state and local jurisdictions. We do not currently have any federal or material state income tax examinations in progress. Our income tax returns have generally been audited or closed to audit through 2016.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and the business interest expense limitation. We are currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA and expect the results of such evaluation to be reflected in our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended September 28, 2025.
