13. Income Taxes

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security, or CARES, Act was enacted and signed into law. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on the income tax provision for the six months ended December 26, 2020.

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. The provision for income taxes recorded in interim periods is based on our estimate of the annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date income before provision for income taxes, adjusted for discrete items required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred.  In each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment in that quarter. Our quarterly tax provision and our quarterly estimate of the annual effective tax rate can be subject to volatility due to several factors, including our ability to accurately forecast annual income before provision for income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we operate.

The provision for income taxes of $2.4 million and $12.0 million for the three months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively, represented estimated federal, foreign, and state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 26, 2020 diverged from the combined U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate primarily because of foreign withholding taxes, non-deductible officer compensation, the impact of accounting for qualified stock options and global intangible low-taxed income, or GILTI, partially offset by the benefit of income taxed at lower rates, research credits and foreign tax credits. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 28, 2019, diverged from the combined U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate, primarily because of foreign withholding taxes and GILTI partially offset by the benefit of research credits, foreign tax credits and income taxed at lower tax rates.

The provision for income taxes of $6.0 million and $7.1 million for the six months ended December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively, represented estimated federal, foreign, and state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 26, 2020 diverged from the combined U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate primarily because of foreign withholding taxes, non-deductible officer compensation, the impact of accounting for qualified stock options and GILTI partially offset by the benefit of income taxed at lower rates, research credits and foreign tax credits. The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 28, 2019, diverged from the combined U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate, primarily because of withholding taxes and GILTI partially offset by the benefit of research credits, foreign tax credits and income taxed at lower tax rates.

The total liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions remained unchanged during the six months ended December 26, 2020, at $22.1 million, and was included in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. If recognized, the total gross unrecognized tax benefits would reduce the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as of December 26, 2020 were $1.7 million; this balance decreased by $0.3 million compared to June 27, 2020, largely due to the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations. We classify interest and penalties as components of income tax expense. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may change within the next twelve months and an estimate of the range of possible changes includes an increase in our liability of up to $3.2 million.

Any prospective adjustments to our unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded as an increase or decrease to income tax expense and cause a corresponding change to our effective tax rate. Accordingly, our effective tax rate could fluctuate materially from period to period.

Our major tax jurisdictions are the United States, Hong Kong SAR, Japan and the United Kingdom. From fiscal 2014 onward, we remain subject to examination by one or more of these jurisdictions.
