Table of Content As of December 31, 2023, $2.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits would affect our effective tax rate. We estimate the uncertain tax benefits that may be recognized within the next twelve months will not be material. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions as well as various foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2016. We are currently under audit in one of the states in which we do substantial business. As of December 31, 2023, we recorded a $0.9 million tax liability in our uncertain positions related to this audit due to retroactive changes included in final regulations issued by the state. Certain Dutch entities were also under audit. We did not anticipate any material adjustments related to these examinations. Periodic examinations of our tax filings occur by the taxing authorities for the jurisdictions in which we conduct business. These examinations review the significant positions taken on our returns, including the timing and amount of income and deductions reported, as well as the allocation of income among multiple taxing jurisdictions. We do not expect any material adjustments to result from positions taken on our income tax returns. The following table summarizes reconciliation of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding penalties and interest, for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands): Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Unrecognized tax benefits - January 1 $ 1,097 $ 1,285 Additions based on tax positions related to prior years 399 350 Disposition of uncertain tax positions of discontinued operations — (426) Reductions resulting from a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations (44) (112) Unrecognized tax benefits - December 31 $ 1,452 $ 1,097 We have recorded the unrecognized tax benefits in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
