On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Act) was signed into law. The Act makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100 percent bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, increases the AMIC to 35 percent from 25 percent and makes modifications to the international tax framework. The Act includes multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others phased in through 2027. We continue to evaluate the impact of the Act's provisions that take effect in future years. As noted in the 2025 rate reconciliation above, we derive the effective tax rate benefit, or detriment, attributed to non-U.S. income taxed at different rates primarily from our operations in China, among others. We are subject to reduced tax rates in Israel and Malaysia as long as we conduct certain eligible activities and make certain capital investments. We have conditional reduced tax rates that expire at various dates through 2056, and we expect to apply for renewals upon expiration, if available. In 2025, the tax benefit specifically attributable to tax holidays was $79 million ($67 million in 2024 and $129 million in 2023) with a $0.02 benefit to diluted EPS ($0.02 in 2024 and $0.03 in 2023). Deferred and Current Income Taxes Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period were as follows:
(In Millions) |  | Dec 27, 2025 |  | Dec 28, 2024
Deferred tax assets: |  |  |  |
R&D expenditures capitalization |  | $ | 12,203 |  |  | $ | 10,709 |

Changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets were as follows:
Years Ended (In Millions) |  |  | Dec 27, 2025 |  | Dec 28, 2024 |  | Dec 30, 2023
Balance at Beginning of Year |  |  | $ | 13,974 |  |  | $ | 3,047 |  |  | $ | 2,586 |
Additions charged to expenses/other accounts |  |  | 2,428 |  |  | 10,927 |  |  | 461 |
(Deductions) recoveries, net |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Balance at End of Year |  |  | $ | 16,402 |  |  | $ | 13,974 |  |  | $ | 3,047 |
Deferred tax assets are included within other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred tax liabilities are included within other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The $2.4 billion change in valuation allowance from December 28, 2024 to December 27, 2025 is substantially attributable to the uncertainty regarding the realizability of our U.S. deferred tax assets. As of December 27, 2025, our federal and non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes were $261 million and $2.9 billion, respectively. The majority of the federal and non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards have no expiration date. The remaining federal and non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards expire at various dates through 2040. As of December 27, 2025, we have undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of $22.2 billion that we have indefinitely invested, and on which we have not recognized deferred taxes. Estimating the amount of potential tax is not practicable because of the complexity and variety of assumptions necessary to compute the tax. Current income taxes receivable of $7.6 billion as of December 27, 2025 ($2.6 billion as of December 28, 2024) are included in other current assets. Long-term income taxes payable of $1.5 billion as of December 27, 2025 ($1.6 billion as of December 28, 2024) are primarily composed of uncertain tax positions, reduced by the associated deduction for state taxes and non-U.S. tax credits. Uncertain Tax Positions
Years Ended (In Millions) |  | Dec 27, 2025 |  | Dec 28, 2024 |  | Dec 30, 2023
Beginning gross unrecognized tax benefits |  | $ | 1,130 |  |  | $ | 1,124 |  |  | $ | 1,229 |
Settlements and effective settlements with tax authorities |  | (52) |  |  | (59) |  |  | (288) |
Changes in balances related to tax position taken during prior periods |  | 201 |  |  | (8) |  |  | — |
Changes in balances related to tax position taken during current period |  | 105 |  |  | 73 |  | 183
Ending gross unrecognized tax benefits |  | $ | 1,384 |  |  | $ | 1,130 |  |  | $ | 1,124 |
If the remaining balance of unrecognized tax benefits were recognized in a future period, it would result in a tax benefit of $949 million as of December 27, 2025 ($946 million as of December 28, 2024) and a reduction in the effective tax rate. Interest, penalties and accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits were insignificant in the periods presented. We file federal, state and non-U.S. tax returns. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal and non-U.S. tax examinations for years prior to 2018 and 2015, respectively. For U.S. state tax returns, we are no longer subject to tax examination for years prior to 2015. Cash Taxes Paid We adopted ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis for the year ended December 27, 2025 and have included the following table as a result of our adoption, which presents income taxes paid (net of refunds received) for the year ended December 27, 2025:
