Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes ໿ Our provision (benefit) for income taxes is based on estimated effective tax rates derived from an estimate of annual consolidated earnings (loss) before taxes, adjusted for nondeductible expenses, other permanent items and any applicable credits. The following table presents the provision (benefit) for income taxes (in thousands) and the effective tax rates:
﻿ | Three Months Ended
﻿ | June 29, |  | June 30,

Income (loss) before income taxes | $ | 6,051 |  |  | $ | (4,500 | )
Provision (benefit) for income taxes | $ | 1,433 |  |  | $ | (228 | )
Effective tax rate | 23.7 | % |  | 5.1 | %
Our income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 was $1.4 million compared to $0.2 million of income tax benefit for the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, resulting in effective tax rates of 23.7% and 5.1% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 was higher than the federal statutory rate primarily due to interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits recorded discretely in the quarter, partially offset by the effect of income earned in certain foreign jurisdictions that is taxed below the federal statutory rate. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 was lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of income earned in certain foreign jurisdictions that is taxed below the federal statutory rate and the U.S. federal research and development tax credit. The Company records unrecognized tax benefits for the estimated risk associated with tax positions taken on tax returns. At June 29, 2019, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $40.0 million, of which $39.8 million would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company recorded a gross increase of $0.3 million to its current year unrecognized tax benefits in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $3.0 million in the next 12 months due to the lapse of the statute of limitations applicable to tax positions taken on a prior year tax return. The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits are classified as “Non-current income taxes" in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. As of June 29, 2019, the balance of accrued interest and penalties, net of tax, was $3.0 million. On July 27, 2015, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion in Altera Corp. et al. v. Commissioner which concluded that the regulations relating to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in intercompany cost-sharing arrangements were invalid. In 2016 the U.S. Internal Revenue Service appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the “Ninth Circuit”). On July 24, 2018, the Ninth Circuit issued a decision that was subsequently withdrawn and a reconstituted panel has conferred on the appeal. On June 7, 2019, the Ninth Circuit reversed the decision of the U.S. Tax Court and upheld the cost-sharing regulations. The final resolution with respect to cost-sharing of stock-based compensation and the potential impact on the Company is unclear at this time. We will continue to monitor developments related to this decision and the potential impact of those developments on the Company's current and prior fiscal years. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Fiscal years 2016 through 2019 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject, although carry forward attributes that were generated in tax years prior to fiscal year 2016 may be adjusted upon examination by the tax authorities if they have been, or will be, used in a future period. The Company's United Kingdom subsidiaries are currently under audit for certain income tax matters related to fiscal years 2016 and 2017. The Company's fiscal year 2017 federal income tax return is under examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The Company believes it has accrued adequate reserves related to the matters under examination. The Company is not under an income tax audit in any other major taxing jurisdiction.
