Income Taxes
The effective tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2016 were 33.0% and 28.7%, compared to 20.2% and 5.7% for the respective periods last year. The tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2016 were impacted by non-deductible goodwill impairment. The tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2016 and 2015 were driven by the U.S. research and development tax credit and foreign earnings in jurisdictions with tax rates that vary from the U.S. statutory rate. The tax rate for the first nine months of 2015 was additionally impacted by the reversal of previously recorded reserves as a result of the effective settlement of the Company’s IRS audit.

For the nine months ended March 27, 2016, the Company's unrecognized tax benefits increased by $1.0 million, all of which impacted the current effective tax rate.

Income tax returns are filed in the U.S., state, and foreign jurisdictions and related audits occur on a regular basis.  In the U.S., the Company is currently under audit for the fiscal years 2010 and 2013, and is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations before fiscal 2010.  The Company is also currently under audit by various state and foreign jurisdictions.  With respect to the Company's major foreign jurisdictions, they are no longer subject to tax examinations before fiscal 2005.
