Income Taxes

As of April 2, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $3.0 million and $3.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, of which $2.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively, would affect our effective tax rate if recognized in any future period.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions and in foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") for years prior to 2013 and is no longer subject to examination by the tax authorities in foreign and state jurisdictions prior to 2006. The Company is currently under examination for income tax filings in various foreign jurisdictions.

The Company has a net U.S. domestic deferred income tax asset and a net foreign deferred tax liability. Due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize certain of these U.S. domestic deferred income tax assets, primarily consisting of state net operating losses and state tax credits carried forward, we maintained a total valuation allowance of $2.9 million at April 2, 2017 and $3.0 million at December 31, 2016. The valuation allowance is based on estimates of income in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. If future results of operations exceed our current expectations, our existing tax valuation allowances may be adjusted, resulting in future tax benefits. Alternatively, if future results of operations are less than expected, future assessments may result in a determination that some or all of the deferred tax assets are not realizable. Consequently, we may need to establish additional tax valuation allowances for all or a portion of the deferred tax assets, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company has had a history of domestic and foreign income, is able to avail itself of federal tax carryback provisions, has future taxable temporary differences and projects future domestic and foreign income. We believe that after considering all of the available objective evidence, it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient income to realize the remaining net deferred income tax asset.
