Income Tax Uncertainties
Income Tax Uncertainties	7.Income Tax Uncertainties As of January 1, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits, including penalties and interest, of $11.6 million ($8.3 million net of federal benefit) and $12.0 million ($8.5 million net of federal benefit), respectively, that if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. In the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, unrecognized tax benefits that are not expected to be settled within the next 12 months are included in other liabilities; unrecognized tax benefits that are expected to be settled within the next 12 months are included in income taxes payable; unrecognized tax benefits that reduce a net operating loss, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward are presented as a reduction to either current or noncurrent deferred income taxes, as applicable. The Company’s accounting policy with respect to interest and penalties related to income tax uncertainties is to classify these amounts as income taxes. As of January 1, 2015, the total amount of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions recognized in the consolidated balance sheet was $3.5 million ($2.9 million net of federal benefit). The total amount of penalties and interest, net of federal benefit, related to income tax uncertainties recognized in the statement of income for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 was $0.1 million. The total amount of accrued penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2015 of $3.7 million ($3.0 million net of federal benefit) is included in the total unrecognized tax benefits described above. In the ordinary course of business, many transactions occur for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. In addition, respective tax authorities periodically audit our income tax returns. These audits examine our significant tax filing positions, including the timing and amounts of deductions and the allocation of income among tax jurisdictions. The 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 federal income tax returns are open tax years that remain subject to potential future audit. State income tax returns for all years after 2010 and, in certain states, income tax returns for 2010, are subject to potential future audit by tax authorities in the Company’s major state tax jurisdictions. The Company is currently being audited in various state jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the Company will settle the audits in these jurisdictions within the next 12-month period. The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including penalties and interest, will not decrease significantly upon settlement of these audits. Additionally, such settlements are not anticipated to have a significant impact on the results of operations.
