Open tax years - Tax years that remain subject to the statute of limitations in the major jurisdictions for each of Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are as follows:
Consolidated federal income tax returns (a) | 2013 | - | 2015
Consolidated Iowa income tax returns (b) | 2013 | - | 2015
Wisconsin combined tax returns (c) | 2012 | - | 2015

Property - Property-related differences were primarily related to accelerated depreciation, including bonus depreciation. In 2015, the PATH Act was enacted. The most significant provisions of the PATH Act for Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL relate to the extension of bonus depreciation deductions for certain expenditures for property incurred through December 31, 2019 and placed in service prior to December 31, 2020. Alliant Energy currently estimates its total bonus depreciation deductions to be claimed on its U.S. federal income tax return for calendar year 2016 will be approximately $350 million ($100 million for IPL and $200 million for WPL). Carryforwards - At December 31, 2016, carryforwards and expiration dates were estimated as follows (in millions):
| Range of Expiration Dates |  | Alliant Energy |  | IPL |  | WPL
Federal net operating losses | 2030-2034 |  |  | $506 |  |  |  | $206 |  |  |  | $215 |
State net operating losses | 2018-2034 |  | 673 |  |  | 12 |  |  | 2 |
Federal tax credits | 2022-2036 |  | 274 |  |  | 100 |  |  | 113 |
Uncertain Tax Positions - At December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, there were no uncertain tax positions or penalties accrued related to uncertain tax positions, and interest accrued and tax positions favorably impacting future effective tax rates for continuing operations were not material. As of December 31, 2016, no material changes to unrecognized tax benefits are expected during the next 12 months. Open tax years - Tax years that remain subject to the statute of limitations in the major jurisdictions for each of Alliant Energy, IPL and WPL are as follows:
Consolidated federal income tax returns (a) | 2013 | - | 2015
Consolidated Iowa income tax returns (b) | 2013 | - | 2015
Wisconsin combined tax returns (c) | 2012 | - | 2015
(a) | The federal tax returns for 2013 and 2014 are effectively settled as a result of participation in the IRS Compliance Assurance Program, which allows Alliant Energy and the IRS to work together to resolve issues related to Alliant Energy’s current tax year before filing its federal income tax return. The statute of limitations for these federal tax returns expires three years from each filing date.
(b) | The statute of limitations for these Iowa tax returns expires three years from each filing date.
(c) | The statute of limitations for these Wisconsin combined tax returns expires four years from each filing date.
