Income Taxes	9 Months Ended
Jan. 31, 2015
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES We file a consolidated federal income tax return in the United States (U.S.) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and file tax returns in various state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax returns are typically examined and settled upon completion of the examination, with tax controversies settled either at the exam level or through the appeals process. In December 2014, we received written notice from our IRS exam team of the completion of the examination of our 2011 and 2012 federal income tax returns for which we agreed to all proposed adjustments. We recorded the impact of the completed audit in the current quarter. The Company currently does not have a U.S. federal return under examination. We had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $79.3 million, $127.5 million and $111.5 million as of January 31, 2015 and 2014 and April 30, 2014, respectively. The gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased $32.2 million and decreased $18.9 million during the nine months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in unrecognized tax benefits during the nine months ending January 31, 2015 is related to tax positions expiring due to statutes of limitations and the settlement of our federal 2011 and 2012 audit, partially offset by changes for various current year federal and state positions. We believe it is reasonably possible that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $8 million within the next twelve months. The anticipated decrease is due to the expiration of statutes of limitations and anticipated settlements of state audit issues. The portion of unrecognized benefits expected to be cash settled within the next twelve months amounts to $1.9 million and is included in accrued income taxes on our consolidated balance sheet. The remaining liability for uncertain tax positions is classified as long-term and is included in other noncurrent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. We had income taxes receivable of $40.9 million and $57.6 million as of January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These receivables were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. As of April 30, 2014, the balance in accrued income taxes was a payable of $407 million. Due to the seasonality of our core business, in which we incur operating losses in the first three fiscal quarters, tax benefits are recorded through the first nine months which reduces the tax payable balance. In the fourth quarter, the company realizes substantial operating income which more than offsets the losses incurred in the first three quarters. This results in a significant increase in our income taxes payable late in the fiscal year. Consistent with prior years, our pretax loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 is expected to be offset by income in the fourth quarter due to the established pattern of seasonality in our primary business operations. As such, management has determined that it is more-likely-than-not that realization of tax benefits recorded in our financial statements will occur in our fiscal year. The amount of tax benefit recorded reflects management's estimate of the annual effective tax rate applied to the year-to-date loss from continuing operations. Certain discrete tax adjustments are also reflected in income tax expense for the periods presented. A discrete income tax benefit of $18.7 million was recorded in the three months ended January 31, 2015 while a discrete tax expense of $3.2 million was recorded in the same period of the prior year. The discrete tax benefit recorded in the current period resulted from the settlement of our 2011-2012 federal audit and revised state income tax positions. During the nine months ended January 31, 2015, a net discrete tax benefit of $30.9 million was recorded. In addition to discrete tax benefits recorded in the current quarter, the expiration of statutes of limitation contributed to the year-to-date discrete tax benefits. We recorded a net discrete tax benefit of $3.7 million during the nine months ended January 31, 2014. Excluding discrete items, management's estimate of the annualized effective tax rate for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014 was 38.3% and 39.2%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for continuing operations, including the effects of discrete income tax items was 44.9% and 39.7% for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Due to the loss in both periods, a discrete tax benefit in either period increases the tax rate while an item of discrete tax expense decreases the tax rate. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, the effective tax rate through our third quarter may not be indicative of the rate for our full fiscal year.

NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES

We file a consolidated federal income tax return in the United States (U.S.) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and file tax returns in various state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax returns are typically examined and settled upon completion of the examination, with tax controversies settled either at the exam level or through the appeals process.

In December 2014, we received written notice from our IRS exam team of the completion of the examination of our 2011 and 2012 federal income tax returns for which we agreed to all proposed adjustments. We recorded the impact of the completed audit in the current quarter. The Company currently does not have a U.S. federal return under examination.

We had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $79.3 million, $127.5 million and $111.5 million as of January 31, 2015 and 2014 and April 30, 2014, respectively. The gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased $32.2 million and decreased $18.9 million during the nine months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in unrecognized tax benefits during the nine months ending January 31, 2015 is related to tax positions expiring due to statutes of limitations and the settlement of our federal 2011 and 2012 audit, partially offset by changes for various current year federal and state positions.

We had income taxes receivable of $40.9 million and $57.6 million as of January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These receivables were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. As of April 30, 2014, the balance in accrued income taxes was a payable of $407 million. Due to the seasonality of our core business, in which we incur operating losses in the first three fiscal quarters, tax benefits are recorded through the first nine months which reduces the tax payable balance. In the fourth quarter, the company realizes substantial operating income which more than offsets the losses incurred in the first three quarters.

Consistent with prior years, our pretax loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 is expected to be offset by income in the fourth quarter due to the established pattern of seasonality in our primary business operations.

A discrete income tax benefit of $18.7 million was recorded in the three months ended January 31, 2015 while a discrete tax expense of $3.2 million was recorded in the same period of the prior year. The discrete tax benefit recorded in the current period resulted from the settlement of our 2011-2012 federal audit and revised state income tax positions. During the nine months ended January 31, 2015, a net discrete tax benefit of $30.9 million was recorded. In addition to discrete tax benefits recorded in the current quarter, the expiration of statutes of limitation contributed to the year-to-date discrete tax benefits. We recorded a net discrete tax benefit of $3.7 million during the nine months ended January 31, 2014.

Excluding discrete items, management's estimate of the annualized effective tax rate for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014 was 38.3% and 39.2%, respectively.
