Income Taxes | Note 17: Income Taxes Income before income taxes for continuing operations consists of the following (for the fiscal years ended):
Income tax expense (benefit) applicable to continuing operations consists of the following components (for the fiscal years ended):
Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate for the following reasons:
For our foreign operating units, we permanently reinvest the earnings and consequently do not record a deferred tax liability relative to the undistributed earnings. We have reinvested approximately $24.0 million of the earnings. The potential deferred tax attributable to these earnings would be approximately $3.1 million. The primary components of our deferred tax assets and (liabilities) were as follows:
The deferred tax assets associated with loss carry forwards and the related expiration dates are as follows:
We evaluate our deferred taxes to determine if a valuation allowance is required. Accounting standards require that we assess whether a valuation allowance should be established based on the consideration of all available evidence using a "more likely than not" standard with significant weight being given to evidence that can be objectively verified. The evaluation of the amount of net deferred tax assets expected to be realized necessarily involves forecasting the amount of taxable income that will be generated in future years. We have forecasted future results using estimates management believes to be reasonable, which are based on objective evidence such as expected trends resulting from certain leading economic indicators. Based upon our net deferred tax asset position at April 25, 2015, we estimate that about $118 million of future taxable income would need to be generated to fully recover our net deferred tax assets. The realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent on future events. Actual results inevitably will vary from management's forecasts. Such variances could result in adjustments to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in future periods, and such adjustments could be material to the financial statements. During fiscal 2015, we recorded a $0.4 million decrease in our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets that are now considered more likely than not to be realized. This determination was primarily the result of our assessment of our cumulative pre-tax income in certain jurisdictions. A summary of the valuation allowance by jurisdiction is as follows:
The remaining valuation allowance of $4.3 million primarily related to certain U.S. state and foreign deferred tax assets. The U.S. state deferred taxes are primarily related to state net operating losses. As of April 25, 2015, we had a gross unrecognized tax benefit of $2.2 million related to uncertain tax positions in various jurisdictions. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of these unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
We recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. We had approximately $0.3 million accrued for interest and penalties as of both April 25, 2015, and April 26, 2014. If recognized, $0.4 million of the total $2.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits would decrease our effective tax rate. We do not expect any adjustments within the next 12 months. The remaining balance will be settled or released as tax audits are effectively settled, statutes of limitation expire or other new information becomes available. Our U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2012 and subsequent are still subject to audit. Our fiscal year 2012 U.S. federal income tax return is currently under audit. In addition, we conduct business in various states. The major states in which we conduct business are subject to audit for fiscal years 2012 and subsequent. Our businesses in Canada and Thailand are subject to audit for fiscal years 2006 and subsequent, and in Mexico, calendar years 2010 and subsequent. Cash paid for taxes (net of refunds received) during the fiscal years ended April 25, 2015, April 26, 2014, and April 27, 2013, were $34.4 million, $25.0 million and $20.5 million, respectively.
