Note 10 - Income Taxes (Continued)

The components of Liabilities for Income Taxes at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were:



(Dollars in Millions)	Jun 30, 2015		Dec 31, 2014
Current Income Tax Liabilities	$	—	$	7.8
Deferred Income Tax Liabilities	—		21.5
Unrecognized Tax Benefits	3.6		7.2
Liabilities for Income Taxes	$	3.6	$	36.5

Included in the balance of Unrecognized Tax Benefits at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are tax positions of $3.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred income tax accounting, other than for interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the effective income tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The liability for Unrecognized Tax Benefits included accrued interest of $0.4 million and $3.8 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company extended the federal statute of limitations for the 2007 through 2011 tax years until December 31, 2015. The extension was requested by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to provide the Joint Committee on Taxation (“JCT”) additional time to complete a review required by statute. In April 2015, the Company received a letter dated April 3, 2015, indicating that the JCT had completed its review and had taken no exception to the IRS’s conclusion to accept the tax returns as filed, effectively settling the extended years. Accordingly, the Company reduced its Liability for Unrecognized Tax Benefits by $3.6 million for accrued interest and recognized an income tax benefit of $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2015.

Income taxes paid were $40.0 million and $30.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
