Income Taxes	9. Income Taxes Our provision for income taxes is impacted by a number of factors, including federal taxes, our international tax structure, state tax rates in the jurisdictions where we conduct business, and our ability to utilize state tax credits that expire between 2014 and 2028. Therefore, our overall effective income tax rate could vary. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was 30.7% and 27.0%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was 32.6% and 28.7%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods is different than the Federal statutory rate generally due to the timing and mixture (foreign and domestic) of income, revisions to annual estimates of net income, the partial reinvestment of foreign earnings in fiscal 2014 and 2013, as well as the facility restructuring charge which had a favorable impact on the prior year. We accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. This methodology is consistent with previous periods. At June 30, 2014, we had $1,904 and $662 accrued for the potential payment of interest and penalties, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, we were subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for the tax years 2007-2013, and to non-U.S. examinations for the tax years 2006-2013. In addition, we are generally subject to state and local examinations for fiscal years 2008-2013. The Company is under an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") examination for tax years 2007-2012. Among other issues, the IRS has questioned the values used by the Company to transfer product and provide services to an international subsidiary. The Company believes it has appropriately valued such product transfers and services and intends to continue to support this position as the IRS examination progresses. At June 30, 2014, we had a liability of $14,260 for unrecognized tax benefits, the recognition of which would have an effect of $10,670 on provision for income taxes at the effective income tax rate. The Company expects to finalize its IRS examination for the tax years 2007-2010 during the next 12 months and the results of this examination could have an impact on this liability. At this time, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments in individual years beyond 12 months due to uncertainties in the timing of tax audit outcomes.
