Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included a net tax charge related to the tax on recognition of foreign withholding taxes on current year earnings and net controlled foreign corporation tested income of our foreign subsidiaries, partially offset by the benefit from foreign-derived deduction eligible income. Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 also included a net discrete charge from increases in tax reserves related to a court ruling impacting tax group requirements in a foreign jurisdiction.

Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 29, 2025 included a net tax charge related to the tax on global intangible low-taxed income of our foreign subsidiaries and recognition of foreign withholding taxes on current year earnings, partially offset by the benefit from foreign-derived intangible income. Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 29, 2025 also included a discrete benefit from a favorable ruling related to deductibility of interest expense in a foreign jurisdiction.
The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by taxing jurisdictions around the world. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of the relevant risks, facts and circumstances existing at the time. We believe that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact our effective tax rate. The final determination of tax audits and any related legal proceedings could materially differ from the amounts currently reflected in our tax provision for income taxes and the related liabilities. We and our U.S. subsidiaries have completed the IRS Compliance Assurance Process through 2023. With limited exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2010.
