At December 31, 2019 and 2018, state net operating loss carryforwards were $43.1 million and $39.3 million, respectively. These net operating losses will expire, in varying amounts, between 2024 and 2039. Based on our history of operating earnings, we have determined that our operating income will, more likely than not, be sufficient to ensure realization of our deferred income tax assets. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending of year amount of our unrecognized tax benefit is as follows (in thousands):
|  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | 2017
Balance at January 1, | $ | 1,348 |  | $ | 1,123 |  | $ | 1,069
Unrecognized tax benefits due to positions taken in current year |  | 234 |  |  | 453 |  |  | 268
Decrease due to expiration of statute of limitations |  | (259) |  |  | (228) |  |  | (214)
Balance at December 31, | $ | 1,323 |  | $ | 1,348 |  | $ | 1,123
We file tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The years ended December 31, 2016 and forward remain open for review for federal income tax purposes. The earliest open year relating to any of our major state jurisdictions is the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. During the next twelve months, we do not anticipate a material net change in unrecognized tax benefits. We classify interest related to our accrual for uncertain tax positions in separate interest accounts. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we have approximately $159,000 and $136,000, respectively, accrued in interest payable related to uncertain tax positions. These accruals are included in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Net interest expense related to uncertain tax positions included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income is not material. The difference between the actual income tax provision for continuing operations and the income tax provision calculated at the statutory U.S. federal tax rate is explained as follows (in thousands):
|  | For the Years Ended December 31, |  |
|  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |  |
Income tax provision calculated using the statutory rate of 21% | $ | 54,938 |  | $ | 50,316 |  | $ | 40,921 |  |
Stock compensation tax benefits |  | (24,177) |  |  | (22,862) |  |  | (18,932) |  |

Summarized below are the total amounts of income taxes paid during the years ended December 31 (in thousands):
2019 |  | $ | 44,063
2018 |  |  | 9,749
2017 |  |  | 42,311
Provision has not been made for additional taxes on $35.1 million of undistributed earnings of our domestic subsidiaries. Should we elect to sell our interest in these businesses rather than to affect a tax-free liquidation, additional taxes amounting to approximately $8.4 million would be incurred based on current income tax rates.
