The Company has a valuation allowance of approximately $417,000 at January 31, 2017. The Company decreased the valuation allowance by $734,000, $601,000 and $265,000 in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These adjustments to the valuation allowance are a result of estimates of realizing certain future state tax benefits and federal capital loss carryforwards. The Company paid income taxes of approximately $7,090,000, $20,253,000 and $30,142,000 in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company received refunds of income taxes of approximately $150,000, $132,000 and $53,000 in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The effective income tax rate on consolidated pre-tax income or loss differs from the federal income tax statutory rate for fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014 as follows:
|  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |  |  | 2014 |
Federal income tax at statutory rate |  |  | 35.0 | % |  |  | 35.0 | % |  |  | 35.0 | %
State and local taxes, net of federal tax benefit |  |  | 2.3 |  |  |  | (1.3 | ) |  |  | 3.6 |
Net change in valuation allowance |  |  | — |  |  |  | (1.2 | ) |  |  | (0.2 | )
Domestic production activities deduction |  |  | (2.9 | ) |  |  | (1.7 | ) |  |  | (1.1 | )
Uncertain tax positions |  |  | 0.8 |  |  |  | 1.0 |  |  |  | — |
Noncontrolling interest |  |  | (4.6 | ) |  |  | (4.4 | ) |  |  | (4.0 | )
Other |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | (0.8 | )
Total |  |  | 30.6 | % |  |  | 27.4 | % |  |  | 32.5 | %
The Company files a U.S. federal income tax return and income tax returns in various states. In general, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years ended January 31, 2010 and prior. The Company applies the provisions of ASC 740-10-25-5 for uncertain tax positions. As of January 31, 2017, total unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $1,875,000, and accrued penalties and interest were approximately $221,000. If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, the provision for income taxes would be reduced by approximately $1,297,000. In addition, the impact of penalties and interest would also benefit the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recorded within income tax expense. On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company accrues for the effects of open uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease during the next 12 months; however, the Company does not expect the change to have a material effect on results of operations or financial position. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, is as follows (dollars in thousands):
|  | Years Ended January 31, |
|  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |
Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year |  | $ | 987 |  |  | $ | 1,658 |
Changes for tax positions for prior years |  |  | 1,109 |  |  |  | (1,658 | )
Changes for tax positions for current year |  |  | — |  |  |  | 987 |
Unrecognized tax benefits, end of year |  | $ | 2,096 |  |  | $ | 987 |
