The Company provides valuation allowances against deferred tax assets if, based on management’s assessment of historical and projected future operating results and other available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Valuation allowances of $11.8 million and $17.5 million were recorded against gross deferred tax assets for certain investments, net operating and capital losses as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company has capital loss carryforwards of $5.0 million, which, if unused, will expire in 2024 and 2025. The Company also has net operating loss carryforwards of $16.7 million, most of which have a 20 year carryforward period.

The Company considers its non-U.S. earnings to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the U.S. to the extent these earnings are not subject to U.S. income tax under an anti-deferral tax regime. As of December 31, 2023, the cumulative amount of undistributed earnings in these subsidiaries is $116.6 million. Given our intent to reinvest these earnings for an indefinite period of time, the Company has not accrued a deferred tax liability on these earnings. A determination of an unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.

The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 consists of the following (in millions):

​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​

​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​
​	​	2023			2022			2021		​

​

As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $196.6 million, $177.1 million, and $162.1 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, net of federal benefit, which, if recognized in the future, would affect the effective income tax rate. Reductions to unrecognized tax benefits from the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations and potential audit settlements during the next twelve months are estimated to be approximately $49.9 million.

Estimated interest costs and penalties are classified as part of the provision for income taxes in the Company's consolidated statements of income and were $14.3 million, $39.1 million, and $9.7 million, for the periods ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Accrued interest and penalties were $88.5 million, $74.4 million and $35.8 million as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

During 2023 the Company reached a settlement with the IRS under which the Company agreed to concede all claimed Section 199 deductions in exchange for concession of the IRS asserted penalties. The Company accordingly remeasured its Section 199 tax reserves and released its reserves associated with penalties and interest thereon during the year.
