Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | 14. Income Taxes The effective tax rate was 33.9 percent and 34.0 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and 33.9 percent and 34.5 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The tax rates for all periods reflect the level of pretax income in relation to recurring permanent tax benefits and geographic mix of business. The Company is under continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and tax authorities in other countries and states in which the Company has significant business operations. The tax years under examination and open for examination vary by jurisdiction. The IRS has completed its field examination of the Company’s federal tax returns for years throug h 2007; however, refund claims for certain years continue to be reviewed by the IRS. In addition, the Company is currently under examination by the IRS for the years 2008 through 2011. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that its unreco gnized tax benefits could decrease within the next 12 months by as much as $448 million principally as a result of potential resolutions of prior years’ tax items with various taxing authorities. The prior years’ tax items include unrecognized tax ben efits relating to the deductibility of certain expenses or losses and the attribution of taxable income to a particular jurisdiction or jurisdictions. Of the $448 million of unrecognized tax benefits, approximately $306 million relates to amounts that if recognized wo uld be recorded in shareholders’ equity and would not impact the Company’s results of operations or its effective tax rate.
