We or one of our subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Our federal tax returns for all years after 2013, state tax returns after 2012, and foreign tax returns after 2013 are subject to future examination by tax authorities for all our tax jurisdictions. Although the outcome of tax audits, if any, is always uncertain, we believe that we have adequately accrued for all amounts of tax, including interest and penalties and any adjustments that may result. During the year ended March 31, 2017, the IRS examination of our tax year ended March 31, 2015 was completed with no change to the reported tax liability. As of March 31, 2017, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $331,000. There would have been no impact on our effective tax rate for the year ended March 31, 2017 had these benefits been recognized. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in other expense and general and administrative expense, respectively. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were $17,000, $3,000 and $0 as of March 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. A reconciliation of the changes in the gross balance of unrecognized tax benefit amounts is as follows (in thousands):
|  | Year Ended March 31, |
|  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 221 |  |  | $ | -- |  |  | $ | -- |
Increases related to current period tax positions |  |  | 110 |  |  |  | 221 |  |  |  | -- |
Ending balance |  | $ | 331 |  |  | $ | 221 |  |  | $ | -- |
We expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months; however, we do not expect the change to have a significant impact on our consolidated statements of income or consolidated balance sheets. At this time, we expect resolution of the uncertain tax position within 12 months. As of March 31, 2017, undistributed earnings of our Canadian subsidiary amounted to $3,164,234. Those earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no U.S. federal and state income taxes have been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation; however, unrecognized foreign tax credits would be available to reduce a portion of the U.S. tax liability.
