The Company believes that a portion of the state net operating loss carryforwards will not be realized due to certain state statutory limitations. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established in the amount of $20 million against such benefits at December 31, 2024 compared to $19 million at December 31, 2023. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of UTB is as follows:
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
| (In millions)
Balance at beginning of year | $ | 11 |  |  | $ | 8 |  |  | $ | 9 |
Additions based on tax positions taken in a prior period | — |  |  | 3 |  |  | — |
Additions based on tax positions taken in the current period | 1 |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Expiration of statute of limitations | — |  |  | — |  |  | (1) |
Balance at end of year | $ | 12 |  |  | $ | 11 |  |  | $ | 8 |
The Company files U.S. federal, state, and local income tax returns. The Company is in the IRS’s Compliance Assurance Process program and examinations of the U.S federal consolidated income tax return for tax years through 2022 have been completed. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and local tax examinations for tax years prior to 2020. Currently, there are no material disputed tax positions with federal or state taxing authorities. Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate that any adjustments relating to federal or state tax examinations will result in material changes to its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. It is reasonably possible that the liability for UTBs could decrease by as much as $8 million and be recognized due to the expiration of statute of limitations during the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the balances of the Company’s UTBs that would reduce the effective tax rates, if recognized, were $12 million, $11 million and $8 million, respectively. Interest and penalties related to UTBs are recorded in the provision for income taxes. For each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized an immaterial expense (benefit) for gross interest and penalties related to its UTBs. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had an immaterial gross liability for interest and penalties related to UTBs.
