Income Taxes INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2026 was 2.66% and for the three months ended March 29, 2025 was 0.76%. Because the Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its deferred income tax balances, the Company is only able to recognize refundable credits and a small amount of state taxes in the tax expense for the three months of 2026 and 2025. The Company is in a net deferred tax liability position of $91 and $91 at March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, respectively, which is included in other long-term liabilities in the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheets.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income tax positions according to FASB guidance relating to uncertain tax positions. Unrecognized tax benefits were $589 and $576 at March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, respectively. Such benefits, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate. There were no significant interest or penalties accrued as of March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to United States federal income taxes, as well as income taxes in a number of state jurisdictions. The tax years subsequent to 2021 remain open to examination for U.S. federal income taxes. The majority of state jurisdictions remain open for tax years subsequent to 2021. A few state jurisdictions remain open to examination for tax years subsequent to 2020.
