​ The Company’s effective income tax rates were 22.5% in 2022, 18.8% in 2021, and 23.2% in 2020. ​ The 2022 tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate due to the effect of state income taxes and non-deductible goodwill impairment charges related to Vitacost.com, partially offset by the benefits from share-based payments and the utilization of tax credits. ​ The 2021 tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to a discrete benefit of $47 which was primarily from the favorable outcome of income tax audit examinations covering multiple years, the benefit from share-based payments and the utilization of tax credits, partially offset by the effect of state income taxes. ​ The 2020 tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of state income taxes, partially offset by the utilization of tax credits and deductions. ​ The tax effects of significant temporary differences that comprise tax balances were as follows: ​

​ At January 28, 2023, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes of $1,468. These net operating loss carryforwards expire from 2023 through 2042. The utilization of certain of the Company’s state net operating loss carryforwards may be limited in a given year. Further, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets resulting from its state net operating losses. ​ At January 28, 2023, the Company had state credit carryforwards of $34. These state credit carryforwards expire from 2023 through 2036. The utilization of certain of the Company’s credits may be limited in a given year. Further, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets resulting from its state credits. ​ The Company regularly reviews all deferred tax assets on a tax filer and jurisdictional basis to estimate whether these assets are more likely than not to be realized based on all available evidence. This evidence includes historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversal of existing temporary differences and the implementation of tax planning strategies. Projected future taxable income is based on expected results and assumptions as to the jurisdiction in which the income will be earned. The expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences is based on current tax law and the Company’s tax methods of accounting. Unless deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the carrying value of the deferred tax asset until such time that realization becomes more likely than not. Increases and decreases in these valuation allowances are included in "Income tax expense" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of January 28, 2023, January 29, 2022 and January 28, 2021 the total valuation allowance was $83, $72 and $53, respectively. ​ A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including positions impacting only the timing of tax benefits, is as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2020 |
Beginning balance | ​ | $ | 100 | ​ | $ | 193 | ​ | $ | 174 | ​
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year | ​ |  | 8 | ​ |  | 10 | ​ |  | 7 | ​
Additions for tax positions of prior years | ​ |  | 6 | ​ |  | 9 | ​ |  | 16 | ​
Reductions for tax positions of prior years | ​ |  | (4) | ​ |  | (108) | ​ |  | — | ​
Settlements | ​ | ​ | (9) | ​ |  | — | ​ |  | — | ​
Lapse of statute | ​ | ​ | (8) | ​ | ​ | (4) | ​ | ​ | (4) | ​
Ending balance | ​ | $ | 93 | ​ | $ | 100 | ​ | $ | 193 | ​
​ As of January 28, 2023, January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would effect the effective tax rate was $66, $73 and $85, respectively. ​ To the extent interest and penalties would be assessed by taxing authorities on any underpayment of income tax, such amounts have been accrued and classified as a component of income tax expense. During the years ended January 28, 2023, January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, the Company recognized approximately $(6), $(15) and $7, respectively, in interest and penalties (recoveries). The Company had accrued approximately $14, $22 and $38 for the payment of interest and penalties as of January 28, 2023, January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, respectively. ​ As of January 28, 2023, the years ended February 1, 2020 and forward remain open for review for federal income tax purposes.
