Income Taxes
For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, there were no material changes to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits. We accrued interest expense of $63 thousand and $26 thousand during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively, and $185 thousand and $191 thousand during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively, excluding the reversal of accrued interest related to adjustments for the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions. Our total gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2014, is $8.9 million. If recognized, $5.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits would impact our effective tax rate. Interest of $1.8 million has been reflected as a component of the total liability. We expect no other significant increases or decreases for uncertain tax positions during the next twelve months.
We file U.S. federal income tax returns, as well as income tax returns in various states and several foreign jurisdictions. The years 2010 through 2013 are open for examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), and various years are open for examination by state and foreign tax authorities. State and foreign jurisdictional statutes of limitations generally range from three to four years.
