Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES Lands’ End and Sears Holdings Corporation entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement in connection with the Separation which governs Sears Holdings Corporation’s and Lands’ End’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Separation with respect to liabilities for United States federal, state, local and foreign taxes attributable to the Lands’ End business. In addition to the allocation of tax liabilities, the Tax Sharing Agreement addresses the preparation and filing of tax returns for such taxes and dispute resolution with taxing authorities regarding such taxes. Generally, Sears Holdings Corporation is liable for all pre-Separation United States federal, state and local income taxes. Lands’ End generally is liable for all other income taxes attributable to its business, including all foreign taxes. As of October 27, 2017, the Company had UTBs of $6.9 million. Of this amount, $4.5 million would, if recognized, impact its effective tax rate, with the remaining amount being comprised of UTBs related to gross temporary differences or other indirect benefits. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, Sears Holdings Corporation is generally responsible for all United States federal, state and local UTBs, including interest and penalties, through the date of the Separation and, as such, an indemnification asset from Sears Holdings Corporation for the pre-Separation UTBs is recorded in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The indemnification asset was $12.0 million, $14.4 million and $11.4 million as of October 27, 2017, October 28, 2016, and January 27, 2017, respectively. The Company classifies interest expense and penalties related to UTBs and interest income on tax overpayments as components of income tax expense. As of October 27, 2017, the total amount of interest expense and penalties recognized on our balance sheet was $5.5 million ($3.6 million net of federal benefit). The total amount of such net interest expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was insignificant for all periods presented. The Company files income tax returns in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Sears Holdings and the Company are under examination by various state tax jurisdictions for the years 2003 to 2014.
