the gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits at november 28 , 2008 of $ 139.5 million is exclusive of interest and penalties . if the total fin 48 gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits at november 28 , 2008 were recognized in the future , the following amounts , net of an estimated $ 12.9 million benefit related to deducting such payments on future tax returns , would result : $ 57.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits would decrease the effective tax rate and $ 68.9 million would decrease goodwill . as of november 28 , 2008 , the combined amount of accrued interest and penalties related to tax positions taken on our tax returns and included in non-current income taxes payable was approximately $ 15.3 million . we file income tax returns in the u.s . on a federal basis and in many u.s . state and foreign jurisdictions . we are subject to the continual examination of our income tax returns by the irs and other domestic and foreign tax authorities . our major tax jurisdictions are the u.s. , ireland and california . for california , ireland and the u.s. , the earliest fiscal years open for examination are 2001 , 2002 and 2005 , respectively . in august 2008 , a u.s . income tax examination covering our fiscal years 2001 through 2004 was completed . our accrued tax and interest related to these years was $ 100.0 million and was previously reported in long-term income taxes payable . in conjunction with this resolution , we requested and received approval from the irs to repatriate certain foreign earnings in a tax-free manner , which resulted in a reduction of our long-term deferred income tax liability of $ 57.8 million . together , these liabilities on our balance sheet decreased by $ 157.8 million . also in august 2008 , we paid $ 80.0 million in conjunction with the aforementioned resolution , credited additional paid-in-capital for $ 41.3 million due to our use of certain tax attributes related to stock option deductions , including a portion of certain deferred tax assets not recorded in our financial statements pursuant to sfas 123r and made other individually immaterial adjustments to our tax balances totaling $ 15.8 million . a net income statement tax benefit in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 of $ 20.7 million resulted . the accounting treatment related to certain unrecognized tax benefits from acquired companies , including macromedia , will change when sfas 141r becomes effective . sfas 141r will be effective in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2010 . at such time , any changes to the recognition or measurement of these unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded through income tax expense , where currently the accounting treatment would require any adjustment to be recognized through the purchase price as an adjustment to goodwill . the timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain and the amounts ultimately paid , if any , upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year . while it is reasonably possible that some issues in the irs and other examinations could be resolved within the next 12 months , based upon the current facts and circumstances , we cannot estimate the timing of such resolution or range of potential changes as it relates to the unrecognized tax benefits that are recorded as part of our financial statements . we do not expect any material settlements in fiscal 2009 but it is inherently uncertain to determine. .
