INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
As of June 29, 2019, the Company had gross unrecognized income tax benefits of approximately $14.6 million, of which $12.5 million, if ultimately recognized, may affect the Company's effective income tax rate in the periods settled. The Company has recorded tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is more likely than not, but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductions.  
Included in the reserves for unrecognized tax benefits at June 29, 2019 were approximately $2.5 million of reserves for which the statute of limitations is expected to expire within the next fiscal year. If these tax benefits are ultimately recognized, such
recognition, net of federal income taxes, may affect the annual effective income tax rate for fiscal 2019 or fiscal 2020 along with the effective income tax rate in the quarter in which the benefits are recognized. 
The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of interest expense and recognizes penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. During the second fiscal quarters ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018, interest expense recorded on uncertain tax positions was not material. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2019, interest expense recorded on uncertain tax positions was $0.5 million, and during the first two quarters of fiscal 2018, interest expense recorded on uncertain tax positions was not material. The Company had approximately $2.4 million, $1.8 million, and $1.3 million of interest accrued on uncertain tax positions as of June 29, 2019, December 29, 2018, and June 30, 2018, respectively.
