We classify reserves for tax uncertainties within accrued expenses and deferred credits and other in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, separate from any related income tax payable or deferred income taxes. Reserve amounts relate to any potential income tax liabilities resulting from uncertain tax positions and potential interest or penalties associated with those liabilities.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was 34.8% and 31.0%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the tax effects of larger nondeductible goodwill impairments in 2012.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was 41.4% and 34.0%, respectively. The effective rate benefit was higher for the first nine months of 2013 primarily due to (i) a discrete tax benefit from a capital loss resulting from a tax election made for U.S. federal income tax purposes during the first quarter of 2013 which was retroactive to December 2012 and (ii) the tax effects of larger nondeductible goodwill impairments in 2012.
We file income tax returns, including returns for our subsidiaries, with federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. We are under regular and recurring audit by the Internal Revenue Service on open tax positions, and it is possible that the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits could change during the next twelve months.
