9.	Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction, in a limited number of foreign jurisdictions, and in many state jurisdictions. Internal Revenue Service examinations have been completed for years prior to 2011. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal, state or foreign income tax examinations for years before 2009.

The Company had $2.9 million and $6.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease in the following twelve months due to statute requirements; however, actual results could differ from those currently expected. Of the balance of unrecognized tax benefits, $2.4 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized at some point in the future.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company provided for income taxes from continuing operations at an estimated effective tax rate of 35.6% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, and estimated effective tax rates of 34.5% and 32.7%, respectively for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013.
