As of December 31, 2020, the Company had non-U.S loss carryforwards of $1,031.2 million primarily resulting from non-operating activities. The entire balance of the non-U.S. losses as of December 31, 2020 is available to be carried forward, with $97.0 million of these losses expiring during the years 2021 through 2040. The remaining $934.2 million of such losses can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company has $315.2 million and $54.1 million of state tax loss carryovers as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The balance of the state losses as of December 31, 2020 is available for carry over, with $287.4 million of these losses expiring during the years 2021 and 2040, and the remaining $27.8 million being carried over indefinitely. The increase in loss carryovers is driven by favorable audit settlements. The Company maintains valuation allowances by jurisdiction against the deferred tax assets related to certain of these carryforwards for which it is more likely than not that some portion or all will not be realized. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Reform Act was enacted which permanently reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate to a flat 21% rate along with other changes in corporate tax law. On that same date, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) SAB 118 to address situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. In accordance with the SAB 118 guidance, the Company recognized the provisional impacts of the Tax Reform Act in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a $4.2 million net tax benefit, which resulted in a 0.6% decrease in the effective tax rate, as an adjustment to the provisional estimates as a result of additional regulatory guidance and changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made as a result of the Tax Reform Act. Unrecognized Tax Benefits The Company files federal, state, local and foreign tax returns. The Company is routinely audited by the tax authorities in these jurisdictions, and a number of audits are currently underway. It is reasonably possible during the next twelve months that uncertain tax positions may be settled, which could result in a decrease in the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits. This decrease may result in an income tax benefit. Due to the potential for resolution of federal, state and foreign examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $30.9 million. All significant federal, state, local and international matters have been concluded through 2016. The Company believes adequate provision has been made for all income tax uncertainties. The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits:
|  |  |  |  | Total
Unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2018 |  |  |  |  | $ | 68,034 |

(1) If recognized, the net amount of potential tax benefits that would impact the Company’s effective tax rate is $65.5 million. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded (income) expense of $(0.1) million, $(0.6) million and $2.4 million, respectively, as a component of provision for income taxes related to the accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits. The Company had accrued interest and penalties of $17.8 million at December 31, 2020 and $17.8 million at December 31, 2019, which are not included in the above table.
