For the three months ended March 28, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $6 million associated with foreign income taxes and withholding taxes.
For the three months ended March 30, 2019, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $13 million associated with a credit to U.S. taxes due a reduction of U.S. income taxes accrued in the prior year.
As of March 28, 2020, substantially all the Company’s U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, were subject to valuation allowances. After evaluating all available evidence, the Company determined that the valuation allowances should be maintained.
The Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits were $66 million as of March 28, 2020. The Company has foreign and U.S. state tax audits in process at any one point in time. It is reasonably possible the Company may have tax audits close in the next 12 months that could materially change the balance of the uncertain tax benefits; however, the timing of tax audit closures and settlements are uncertain.
