Uncertain tax position – We are subject to audit examinations at federal, state and local levels by tax authorities in those jurisdictions who may challenge the treatment or reporting of any return item. The tax matters challenged by the tax authorities are typically complex; therefore, the ultimate outcome of these challenges is subject to uncertainty. Reconciliation of the consolidated liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest, from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2016, is as follows:
|  | For the Years Ended March 31, |
|  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |  |  | 2014 |

We recognize penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of the tax provision, while interest associated with uncertain tax positions is included in interest expense. The following is a summary of the amounts of interest and penalties recognized in relation to our uncertain tax position:
|  | For the Years Ended March 31, |
|  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |  |  | 2014 |
|  | (dollars in thousands) |
Accrued interest recognized |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | (3,847 | ) |  | $ | 641 |
Accrued penalties recognized |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | (6,475 | ) |  | $ | 213 |
There was no accrued interest or penalties related to our uncertain tax position during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Accrued interest and penalties related to our uncertain tax positions totaled $4.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively, at March 31, 2014. In May 2011, we filed a lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) in Federal District Court to recover all of the amounts paid to the IRS with respect to our uncertain tax position for 2001 to 2006. We reached an agreement with the IRS to settle this case, which was approved by the U.S. Department of Justice in January 2015. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we dismissed our lawsuit seeking to recover taxes, interest and penalties paid, in exchange for the IRS conceding 40% of the penalties, plus related interest, to date. The impact from the settlement agreement was approximately $17 million, including state benefits, which was recorded as a reduction of income tax expense during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. The related interest refund of approximately $4.4 million was also recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
