Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Tax | Income Tax Autodesk's income tax expense was $13.5 million and $21.3 million for the three months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, relative to a pre-tax loss of $129.3 million and pre-tax income of $22.5 million, respectively, for the same periods. Autodesk's income tax expense was $53.1 million and $293.5 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, relative to a pre-tax loss of $355.6 million and pre-tax income of $0.2 million, respectively, for the same periods. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to the valuation allowance that was established during the three months ended October 31, 2015. Income tax expense consists primarily of foreign taxes and U.S. tax expense related to indefinite-lived intangibles. Autodesk regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. In making that assessment, Autodesk considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, Autodesk considered cumulative losses in the United States arising from the Company's business model transition as a significant piece of negative evidence and established a valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets in the three months ended July 31, 2015. Subsequently, Autodesk determined that it had understated income tax expense by $33.1 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2015, primarily related to an error in the establishment of the valuation allowance, which had been understated at July 31, 2015. Autodesk evaluated the materiality of the error, quantitatively and qualitatively, and concluded it was not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended July 31, 2015 but chose to correct the error by revising the previously reported results for the three and six months ended July 31, 2015. The following table summarizes the impact of adjusting the condensed consolidated income statement balances presented for the three and six months ended July 31, 2015:
| As previously reported |  |  |  | As adjusted

The following table summarizes the impact of adjusting the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet balances as of July 31, 2015:

(1) | Included in "Other accrued liabilities" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of October 31, 2016, the Company had $264.3 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest, of which approximately $250.4 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. However, this rate impact would be offset to the extent that recognition of unrecognized tax benefits currently presented as a reduction of deferred tax assets would increase the valuation allowance. It is possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months; however, an estimate of the range of the possible change cannot be made at this time. The negotiated settlement for a tax audit in China covering certain transfer pricing matters from 2004 to 2013 was finalized and paid in mid-November. The payment was for $9.9 million, which included tax and interest. There was an accrual of $9.9 million for this liability as of October 31, 2016. The accrual for the adjustment for calendar years 2014 and 2015 will be kept on the books as the Company works with the State Administration of Taxation to settle the liabilities for these years. The Internal Revenue Service has started an examination of the Company's U.S. consolidated federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2014 and 2015. While it is possible that the Company's tax positions may be challenged, the Company believes its positions are consistent with the tax law, and the balance sheet reflects appropriate liabilities for uncertain federal tax positions for the years being examined.
