Income Taxes
We file federal income tax returns in the U.S. and income tax returns in various U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. In the U.S., we are generally no longer subject to tax assessment for tax years prior to 2016. In our major foreign jurisdictions including China, Czech Republic, Mexico and the United Kingdom, our income tax filings are generally subject to examination for three to five years.
As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in unrecognized tax benefits related to U.S. federal, state and foreign jurisdictions which may impact our effective tax rate, if recognized. The domestic unrecognized tax benefits are netted against their related deferred tax assets. We accrue penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits through income tax expense. Included in the unrecognized tax benefits is $0.3 million of interest and penalties as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We are not aware of any events that could occur within the next twelve months that would have a material impact on the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would require a reserve.
At September 30, 2019, due to cumulative losses and other factors, we continue to carry valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets, primarily in the United Kingdom and Luxembourg. Additionally, we continue to carry valuation allowances related to certain state deferred tax assets that we believe are more likely than not to expire before they can be utilized. We evaluate the need for valuation allowances in each of our jurisdictions on a quarterly basis.

During the period ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a $2.1 million net income tax benefit attributable to period-specific adjustments consisting of a $1.3 million income tax benefit associated with amending its 2012 through 2017 U.S. federal income tax returns to claim additional foreign tax credits and a $0.8 million income tax benefit associated with its U.S. federal income tax return and the local country income tax returns of certain foreign subsidiaries filed for the tax year ended December 31, 2018.
