INCOME TAXES
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and various foreign jurisdictions. We have statutes of limitation open for federal income tax returns related to tax years 2009 through 2011. We have state income tax returns subject to examination primarily for tax years 2009 through 2011. Open tax years related to foreign jurisdictions, primarily the United Kingdom, remain subject to examination for the tax years 2009 through 2011.
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $0.1 million. Income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.1 million. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 1.48%, which is primarily the result of valuation allowances against the net operating losses for the U.S., which results in us not recording net deferred tax assets in the U.S.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, there were no material changes to the liability for uncertain tax positions.
