Federal NOLs have expiration dates between 2034 and 2036. The Company has $28 of federal NOLs that do not expire. State NOLs have expiration dates between 2028 and 2038. Uncertain Tax Positions The Company's U.S. federal and state income tax returns for 2020 and later are open and subject to examination. Additionally, federal and state NOLs may be adjusted by the taxing authorities for the 2013 and later tax years. The Company has an Uncertain Tax Position (“UTP”) liability of $8,077 and an additional liability related to the UTP for penalties of $1,615 and interest of $611 at December 31, 2023. We recognize interest and penalties related to the UTP as administrative expense. The UTP, including penalties and interest, are fully offset by an indemnification receivable at December 31, 2023. The Company estimates that approximately $1,344 of the recorded UTP may be recognized by the end of 2024, with no material impact to the Consolidated Statement of Operations due to the associated indemnification receivable. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any material UTP’s.
