The Company's effective tax rate was 39.5% and 39.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to 40.9% and 40.2% for the same periods in 2013.
The total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign taxes was approximately $0.6 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all of which would impact the Company's effective tax rate, if recognized. The expiration of the statute of limitations for certain tax positions in future years and expected settlement of certain tax audit issues could impact the total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits by $0.2 million through June 30, 2015.
The Company files U.S. federal, state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The 2010 to 2013 tax years remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities with the 2009 tax year still open for certain state tax authorities. The 2006 to 2013 tax years remain subject to examination by the tax authorities in Canada.
