(1)The Company has been granted tax incentives for various subsidiaries in China, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Israel, which primarily expire at various dates through fiscal year 2031 and are subject to certain conditions with which the Company expects to comply. These tax incentives resulted in a tax benefit of approximately $74 million ($0.56 per basic weighted average shares outstanding), $80 million ($0.57 per basic weighted average shares outstanding) and $51 million ($0.34 per basic weighted average shares outstanding) during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. (2)For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the valuation allowance change was primarily due to an income tax benefit of $26 million for the reversal of a portion of the U.S. valuation allowance and decreased deferred tax assets with corresponding valuation allowances due to the liquidation of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. (3)As a result of certain operations being classified as held for sale, the Company made a change to its indefinite reinvestment assertions for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023. Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities Significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are summarized below (in millions):
| August 31, 2023(1) |  | August 31, 2022

(1)Excludes $96 million classified as held for sale. See Note 16 – “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures” for additional information. Based on the Company’s historical operating income, projection of future taxable income, scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances recorded. As of August 31, 2023, the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest the remaining earnings from its foreign subsidiaries for which a deferred tax liability has not already been recorded. The accumulated earnings are the most significant component of the basis difference which is indefinitely reinvested. As of August 31, 2023, the indefinitely reinvested earnings in foreign subsidiaries upon which taxes had not been provided were approximately $0.9 billion. The estimated amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability on these reinvested earnings was approximately $0.1 billion. Tax Carryforwards The amount and expiration dates of income tax net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, and tax capital loss carryforwards, which are available to reduce future taxes, if any, as of August 31, 2023 are as follows (in millions):
| Last Fiscal Year of Expiration |  | Amount
Income tax net operating loss carryforwards:(1) |  |  |
Domestic - federal | 2038 or indefinite |  | $ | 11 |
Domestic - state | 2042 or indefinite |  | $ | 55 |
Foreign | 2038 or indefinite |  | $ | 646 |
Tax credit carryforwards:(1) |  |  |
Domestic - federal | 2043 |  | $ | 18 |
Domestic - state | 2027 or indefinite |  | $ | 4 |
Foreign(2) | Indefinite |  | $ | 4 |
Tax capital loss carryforwards: |  |  |
Domestic - federal | 2028 |  | $ | 75 |
(1)Net of unrecognized tax benefits. (2)Calculated based on the deferral method and includes foreign investment tax credits. Unrecognized Tax Benefits Reconciliation of the unrecognized tax benefits is summarized below (in millions):
| Fiscal Year Ended August 31,
| 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2021
Beginning balance | $ | 253 |  |  | $ | 241 |  |  | $ | 190 |

Reductions for tax positions of prior years | (7) |  |  | (21) |  |  | (3) |

Reductions from non-cash settlements with taxing authorities | (2) |  |  | (9) |  |  | — |
Foreign exchange rate adjustment | — |  |  | (10) |  |  | 5 |
Ending balance | $ | 257 |  |  | $ | 253 |  |  | $ | 241 |
Unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the effective tax rate (if recognized) | $ | 150 |  |  | $ | 150 |  |  | $ | 139 |
(1)The additions for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 are primarily related to taxation of certain intercompany transactions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company’s accrued interest and penalties were approximately $31 million and $30 million as of August 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recognized interest and penalties of approximately $3 million, $0 million and $7 million during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the August 31, 2023 unrecognized tax benefits could decrease during the next 12 months by $150 million, primarily related to taxing authority agreements associated with intercompany transactions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for fiscal years before August 31, 2018. In major non-U.S. and state jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for fiscal years before August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2009, respectively.
