At December 31, 2020, the gross tax benefit related to net operating loss carryforwards were $41.7 million and $19.5 million related to federal and state taxes, respectively. These carryforwards expire in years beginning in 2024. The net operating losses were obtained through various acquisitions and are subject to the annual limitations set forth by Internal Revenue Code Section 382. No valuation allowance was necessary as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, to reduce BancShares’ gross deferred tax asset to the amount more likely than not to be realized. Income tax expense for 2020 was favorably impacted by $13.9 million due to BancShares’ decision in the second quarter to utilize an allowable alternative for computing its 2020 federal income tax liability. The allowable alternative provides BancShares the ability to use the federal income tax rate for certain current year deductible amounts related to prior year FDIC-assisted acquisitions that was applicable when these amounts were originally subjected to tax. BancShares regularly adjusts its net deferred tax asset as a result of changes in tax rates in the state where it files tax returns. These changes in tax rates did not have a material impact on tax expense in 2020, 2019 or 2018. BancShares’ and its subsidiaries’ federal income tax returns for 2017 through 2019 remain open for examination. Generally, BancShares is no longer subject to examination by state and local taxing authorities for taxable years prior to 2015. The following table provides a rollforward of BancShares’ gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:
(Dollars in thousands) | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning of the year | $ | 32,226 |  |  | $ | 28,255 |  |  | $ | 29,004 |
Additions (reductions) related to tax positions taken in prior year | 153 |  |  | (683) |  |  | (1,054) |
Additions related to tax positions taken in current year | 1,295 |  |  | 6,554 |  |  | 1,433 |
Settlements | (1,516) |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Reductions related to lapse of statute of limitations | (783) |  |  | (1,900) |  |  | (1,128) |
Unrecognized tax benefits at the end of the year | $ | 31,375 |  |  | $ | 32,226 |  |  | $ | 28,255 |
All of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect BancShares’ effective tax rate. BancShares has unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain state tax positions in North Carolina and other state jurisdictions resulting from tax filings submitted to the states. No tax benefit has been recorded for these uncertain tax positions in the consolidated financial statements. BancShares does not expect the unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly during 2021. BancShares recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. BancShares recognized $467 thousand, ($135) thousand and $114 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. BancShares had $896 thousand and $429 thousand accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
