The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

Current |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

We have historically elected not to provide for U.S. income taxes with respect to the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as we intended to utilize those earnings in our foreign operations for an indefinite period of time. As of January 31, 2016, the accumulated undistributed earnings of all foreign subsidiaries were approximately $66,500,000 and are sufficient to support our anticipated future cash needs for our foreign operations. We currently intend to utilize those undistributed earnings for an indefinite period of time and will only repatriate such earnings when it is tax effective to do so. If we did not consider these earnings to be indefinitely reinvested, the deferred tax liability would have been in the range of $8,000,000 to $12,000,000 at January 31, 2016. A reconciliation of income taxes at the federal statutory corporate rate to the effective rate is as follows:
|  | Fiscal 2015 |  |  | Fiscal 2014 |  |  | Fiscal 2013 |
Federal income taxes at the statutory rate |  |  | 35.0% |  |  |  | 35.0% |  |  |  | 35.0% |
State income tax rate |  |  | 3.2% |  |  |  | 4.0% |  |  |  | 3.7% |
Other |  |  | (1.7% | ) |  |  | (0.5% | ) |  |  | (0.3% | )
Effective tax rate |  |  | 36.5% |  |  |  | 38.5% |  |  |  | 38.4% |
Significant components of our deferred tax accounts are as follows:
Deferred tax assets (liabilities), in thousands |  | Jan. 31, 2016 |  |  | Feb. 1, 2015 |

As of January 31, 2016, we adopted ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. We have adopted this ASU prospectively and have presented both deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as noncurrent in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2016. Prior balance sheets have not been retrospectively adjusted (see Note A). The following table summarizes the activity related to our gross unrecognized tax benefits:
In thousands |  | Fiscal 2015 |  |  | Fiscal 2014 |  |  | Fiscal 2013 |
Balance at beginning of year |  | $ | 14,359 |  |  | $ | 10,765 |  |  | $ | 8,990 |
Increases related to current year’s tax positions |  |  | 2,765 |  |  |  | 3,093 |  |  |  | 3,351 |
Increases related to prior years’ tax positions |  |  | 101 |  |  |  | 2,007 |  |  |  | 328 |
Decreases related to prior years’ tax positions |  |  | (341 | ) |  |  | (138 | ) |  |  | (42 | )
Settlements |  |  | (2,912 | ) |  |  | (1,144 | ) |  |  | (170 | )
Lapses in statute of limitations |  |  | (682 | ) |  |  | (224 | ) |  |  | (1,692 | )
Balance at end of year |  | $ | 13,290 |  |  | $ | 14,359 |  |  | $ | 10,765 |
As of January 31, 2016, we had $13,290,000 of gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which $8,948,000 would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate. We accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. As of January 31, 2016 and February 1, 2015, our accruals for the payment of interest and penalties totaled $2,649,000 and $2,412,000, respectively, primarily related to the payment of interest. Due to the potential resolution of state issues, it is reasonably possible that the balance of our gross unrecognized tax benefits could decrease within the next twelve months by a range of $0 to $2,100,000. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has concluded examination of our U.S. federal income tax returns for years prior to fiscal 2011 without any significant adjustments. Substantially all material state, local and foreign income tax examinations have been concluded through fiscal 2004.
