Uncertain income tax positions: The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, numerous local and state tax jurisdictions within the U.S., and income taxes in Germany. The Company maintains a reserve for uncertain tax positions. As of May 31, 2014 and May 31, 2013, the total reserve for uncertain tax positions, including interest and net of federal benefits, was $29.8 million and $19.8 million, respectively. As of May 31, 2014 and May 31, 2013, $28.6 million and $19.7 million of the total reserves for uncertain tax positions, including interest and net of federal benefits, were included in long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits, not including interest or other potential offsetting effects, is as follows:
|  | Year ended May 31,
In millions |  | 2014 |  | 2013 |  | 2012
Balance as of beginning of fiscal year |  | $ | 26.7 |  |  | $ | 41.7 |  |  | $ | 41.2 |
Additions for tax positions of the current year |  | 11.2 |  |  | 28.5 |  |  | 0.4 |
Additions for tax positions of prior years |  | 4.2 |  |  | 12.2 |  |  | 1.3 |
Reductions for tax positions of prior years |  | (1.8 | ) |  | (0.5 | ) |  | (0.1 | )
Settlements with tax authorities |  | — |  |  | (55.0 | ) |  | (0.7 | )
Expiration of the statute of limitations |  | (0.3 | ) |  | (0.2 | ) |  | (0.4 | )
Balance as of end of fiscal year |  | $ | 40.0 |  |  | $ | 26.7 |  |  | $ | 41.7 |
In May 2013, the Company executed a closing agreement that resolved tax matters related to the audits by New York State for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004 (“fiscal 2004”) through the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011(“fiscal 2011”). As a result, the reserve for uncertain tax positions was increased by $21.2 million in May 2013. The resolution and execution of the closing agreement in May 2013 on the open tax matters for fiscal 2004 through fiscal 2011 impacted the Company's effective income tax rate for fiscal 2013, as noted in the reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory rate to the Company's effective income tax rate. The reserve as of May 31, 2014 substantially relates to uncertain tax positions for state income tax matters. The Company believes the reserve for uncertain tax positions, including interest and net of federal benefits, of $29.8 million as of May 31, 2014 adequately covers open tax years and uncertain tax positions up to and including fiscal 2014 for major taxing jurisdictions. As of May 31, 2014, $24.6 million of the $29.8 million unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective income tax rate. As of May 31, 2013, $14.6 million of the $19.8 million unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would have impacted the Company’s effective income tax rate. The Company has concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters through the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010. Fiscal 2013 is currently under audit by the IRS and fiscal years 2011, 2012, and 2014 are subject to potential audit. With limited exception, state income tax audits by taxing authorities are closed through the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009, primarily due to expiration of the statute of limitations. The Company continues to follow its policy of recognizing interest and penalties accrued on tax positions as a component of income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The amount of accrued interest and penalties associated with the Company’s tax positions is immaterial to the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of interest and penalties recognized for fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012 was immaterial to the Company’s results of operations.
