Income taxes

On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), a significant tax-and-spending package intended to provide economic stimulus to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the Company continues to examine the impacts the CARES Act may have on its business, it does not expect it will have a material impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company is open to assessment of its federal income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years after 2013, and its state and local returns for fiscal years after 2013. The Company is also open to assessment for foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years after 2009. Unrecognized tax benefits reflect the difference between positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and the amounts reflected in the financial statements.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $81,717, all of which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The accrued interest related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amount above, is $14,425. During the current-year quarter, the Company recorded the settlement of an examination with a foreign jurisdiction that resulted in a $74,057 decrease to the unrecognized tax benefit recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by up to approximately $40,000 as a result of the revaluation of existing uncertain tax positions arising from developments in the examination process or the closure of tax statutes. Any increase in the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months is expected to be insignificant.
