Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
Note 12.   Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $46.8 and $45.0, respectively, of net unrecognized tax benefits. This liability, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company is currently open to audit by the tax authorities for the seven tax years ended December 31, 2013. There are currently no material income tax audits in progress.

The Company classifies interest and penalties related to income tax as income tax expense. The amount included in the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits for interest and penalties was less than $2.0 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
