Deferred tax asset, included in Other long-term assets

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had state pre-tax NOL carryforwards in the U.S. of $368.6 million that will expire between 2023 and 2042 in certain states while some may be carried forward indefinitely. To the extent that the Company expects that net income will not be sufficient to realize these NOLs in certain jurisdictions, a valuation allowance has been established.
The Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that its deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances provided, will be realized, based primarily on its expectation of future taxable income, considering future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences.
As of December 31, 2022, subsequent to the Brazil disposition and the resulting company structure, we maintain a permanent reinvestment assertion on our foreign subsidiaries. An immaterial amount of tax would be payable upon any distribution of unremitted earnings or a recognition of any outside basis difference.
Based on the statutes of limitations in the applicable jurisdiction in which the Company operates, the Company is generally no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities in years prior to 2017.

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, are $1.7 million, $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of tax benefits that would affect the effective tax rate if recognized.
For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 the Company recorded approximately $0.3 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of interest and penalty related to its uncertain tax positions. Consistent with prior practice, the Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
