Income Taxes | Note 4 – Income Taxes Seaboard’s tax returns are regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which may result in material adjustments. Seaboard’s U.S. federal income tax years’ are closed through 2009. Seaboard’s 2010 U.S. income tax return is currently under IRS examination. There have not been any material changes in unrecognized income tax benefits since December 31, 2012. Interest related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties was not material for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013. On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (the Tax Act) was signed into law. The Tax Act extended many expired corporate income tax provisions that impact current and deferred taxes for financial reporting purposes. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the determination of current and deferred taxes is based on the provisions of the enacted law as of the balance sheet date; the effects of future changes in tax law are not anticipated. The effects of changes in tax laws, including retroactive changes, are recognized in the financial statements in the period that the changes are enacted. Accordingly, as the Tax Act was signed into law in 2013, the effects of the retroactive provisions in the new law on current and deferred tax assets and liabilities for Seaboard were recorded in the first quarter of 2013. The total impact was a one-time tax benefit of $7,945,000 recorded in the first quarter of 2013 related to certain 2012 income tax credits. In addition to this amount is a one-time credit of approximately $11,260,000 for 2012 Federal blender’s credits that was recognized as revenues in the first quarter of 2013. See Note 9 for further discussion of this Federal blender’s credit.
