Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state and local jurisdictions, Canada, Brazil and other international jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2019, or state and local income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2013. The Company is not currently under U.S. federal examination for years subsequent to fiscal year 2018, and there is very limited audit activity of the Company’s income tax returns in U.S. state jurisdictions or international jurisdictions.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company claimed certain tax deductions, including a worthless stock loss deduction, related to its investment in Sotawall Limited, a Canadian subsidiary. These deductions generated a net tax benefit of $13.7 million.

The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $5.5 million at November 26, 2022, compared to $3.3 million at February 26, 2022. The increase was primarily related to the tax deductions claimed during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 associated with the Company's investment in Sotawall Limited, a Canadian subsidiary. Penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense.
