For fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, we generated foreign earnings in lower tax jurisdictions primarily related to income from our European operations.

 

(2)

During fiscal 2020, we recognized a tax benefit related to the lapse of statutes of limitations on our fiscal 2014 and 2015 federal income tax returns. During fiscal 2019, the Internal Revenue Service completed the examination of our fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2013 federal income tax returns, and we recognized a tax benefit attributable to the effective settlement and the release of related tax reserves.
