12.Income taxes

Income tax expense reflects the federal statutory tax rate and the weighted average state statutory tax rate for the states in which the Company operates stores. Income tax expense of $74,677 for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 represents an effective tax rate of 24.5%, compared to $24,247 of income tax benefit representing an effective tax rate of 23.6% for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020. The higher effective tax rate is primarily due to a decrease in the benefit of state tax credits compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as a result of an increase in pretax income.
