INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate was 35.2% and 28.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively. The effective tax rates for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 were impacted by such items as the domestic production deduction, state income taxes and losses in foreign jurisdictions for which no benefit is recognized. In addition, the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was impacted by changes in tax reserves resulting from the expiration of statutes of limitations, which reduced the effective tax rate by 6.5%.
Unrecognized tax benefits were $304 million and $306 million at January 2, 2016, and October 3, 2015, respectively.
We estimate that during the next twelve months it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by as much as $15 million primarily due to expiration of statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions.
