Equifax and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal, state and international income taxes. We are generally no longer subject to federal, state, or international income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2020 with a few exceptions. Due to the potential for resolution of state and foreign examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitations, it is reasonably possible that our gross unrecognized tax benefit balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of $0 to $10.0 million.
 
Effective Tax Rate

Our effective income tax rate was 26.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 27.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Our effective income tax rate was 25.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 26.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our effective tax rate was lower for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023 due to more favorable discrete benefits in the current year primarily due to the expiration of the statute of limitations related to uncertain tax positions.
