Income Taxes
For each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of the effective tax rate it expects to be applicable for the full fiscal year for its continuing operations. This estimated effective rate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. The Company’s effective tax rate through the first nine months of fiscal 2013 was 30%, compared to 31% for the same period of fiscal 2012, and differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to (i) the impact of U.S. state and local income taxes, (ii) a domestic production activities deduction, (iii) application of tax credits, and (iv) the recognition of U.S. federal income taxes on undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries.

The income tax provision from continuing operations consists of the following:

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states, local and non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Company’s federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2010 and 2011, as well as the amended federal income tax returns for fiscal 2008 and 2009, are under review by the Internal Revenue Service, the outcome of which is not known at this time.
