(1)Certain December 31, 2020 amounts have been corrected for an immaterial error identified in the third quarter of 2022. See Note 1 to these Consolidated Financial Statements for details. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company completed an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property rights from a wholly owned foreign subsidiary (tax resident in the Bahamas) to its wholly owned Irish subsidiary. The rights were sold to the Company’s Irish subsidiary where its ex-U.S. regional headquarters are located and has significant manufacturing and commercial operations, to better align ownership of intellectual property rights with how the business operates. The intra-entity transfer did not result in a taxable gain in 2020 in any jurisdiction including the U.S. as the transaction was disregarded for U.S. tax purposes. The Company filed an election to treat the Irish subsidiary as a disregarded entity for U.S. income tax purposes in 2011. The transaction resulted in a step-up in the tax basis in the transferred intellectual property rights and the Company’s Irish subsidiary recognized a deferred tax asset for the book and tax basis difference of the transferred intellectual property rights. As a result, the Company recognized a deferred tax asset of $835.1 million and related tax benefit on its Consolidated Financial Statements based on the fair value of the transferred intellectual property rights. The fair value of the transferred intellectual property rights was determined utilizing the income approach which relied on projections of product-specific revenues and the inclusion or exclusion of a terminal value for each product. The tax deductions related to the amortization of these transferred intellectual property rights will be recognized in the future and any amortization not deducted for tax purposes will be carried forward indefinitely under Irish tax laws. The Company expects to be able to realize the deferred tax asset resulting from this transaction and has not recorded a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax benefit to the Company’s effective tax rate:

(1)For the year ended December 31, 2022, the foreign rate differential included foreign local tax expense which was at an effective rate lower than the U.S. statutory rate and is offset by the PRV income taxed at a higher tax rate. (2)For the year ended December 31, 2021, the foreign rate differential included foreign local tax expense which was at an effective rate lower than the U.S. statutory rate and includes the recognition of the valuation allowance against a portion of the deferred tax assets of the Company’s Dutch subsidiary of $9.3 million. (3)Certain December 31, 2020 amounts have been corrected for an immaterial error identified in the third quarter of 2022. See Note 1 to these Consolidated Financial Statements for details. The significant components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets were as follows:
| December 31,
| 2022 |  | 2021
Net deferred tax assets: |  |  |
Net operating loss carryforwards | $ | 20,657 |  |  | $ | 25,936 |

Net deferred tax assets | $ | 1,505,412 |  |  | $ | 1,450,161 |
(1)Certain December 31, 2021 amounts have been corrected for an immaterial error identified in the third quarter of 2022. See Note 1 to these Consolidated Financial Statements for details. The increase in net deferred tax assets is primarily related to capitalization of research and development expenses offset by a decrease in intangible assets. Valuation allowances are provided to reduce the amounts of the Company's deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized based on an assessment of positive and negative evidence, including estimates of future taxable income necessary to realize future deductible amounts. At the end of each period, the Company will reassess the ability to realize its deferred tax benefits. If it is more likely than not that the Company would not realize the deferred tax benefits, a valuation allowance may need to be established against all or a portion of the deferred tax assets, which will result in a charge to tax expense. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company renegotiated a license agreement that resulted in lower royalty projections for its Dutch subsidiary. The revised royalty projections required establishment of a valuation allowance on net operating loss deferred tax assets that were no longer expected to be realizable. The valuation allowance also increased in 2021 due to the Company’s expectation that state R&D credits will not be utilized. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had the following net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, which if not utilized, will expire as follows:
Type |  | Amount |  | Year
Federal net operating loss carryforwards |  | $ | 3,628 |  |  | 2030-2033
Federal R&D and orphan drug credit carryforwards |  | $ | 585,322 |  |  | 2024-2042
State net operating loss carryforwards |  | $ | 186,594 |  |  | 2023-2042
Dutch net operating loss carryforwards |  | $ | 38,912 |  |  | Indefinite
Not included in the table above are $152.7 million of state research credit carryovers that will carry forward indefinitely. The Company’s net operating losses and credits could be subject to annual limitations due to ownership change limitations provided by Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state provisions. An annual limitation could result in the expiration of net operating losses and tax credit carryforward before utilization. There are limitations on the tax attributes of acquired entities however, the Company does not believe the limitations will have a material impact on the utilization of the net operating losses or tax credits. The financial statement recognition of the benefit for a tax position is dependent upon the benefit being more likely than not to be sustainable upon audit by the applicable taxing authority. If this threshold is met, the tax benefit is then measured and recognized at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, is as follows:
| December 31,
| 2022 |  | 2021
Balance at beginning of period | $ | 205,095 |  |  | $ | 182,564 |
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year | 26,762 |  |  | 23,499 |
(Deletions) Additions for tax positions of prior years | 1,017 |  |  | (786) |
Lapse of statute of limitations | (18) |  |  | (182) |
Balance at end of period | $ | 232,856 |  |  | $ | 205,095 |
Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 were potential benefits of $223.3 million that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company’s policy for classifying interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits is to include such items in the income tax expense. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties was not significant as of December 31, 2022. The Company believes it will not have any material decreases in its previously unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., Ireland and various foreign jurisdictions. The U.S. and foreign jurisdictions have statute of limitations ranging from three to five years. However, carryforward tax attributes that were generated in 2014 and earlier may still be adjusted upon examination by tax authorities. U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes have not been recognized on the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in duration. This excess totaled approximately $17.3 million as of December 31, 2022, which will be indefinitely reinvested; deferred income taxes have not been provided on such foreign earnings.
