The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 will be realized, including its operating loss carryforwards of $515,000 that expire in various amounts through 2030. The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2011 through 2013 tax years. With few exceptions, the Company and its subsidiaries’ state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the 2008 through 2013 tax years. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has provided a liability of $1,477,000 for unrecognized tax benefits related to various income tax issues which includes interest and penalties. The amount that would impact the Company’s effective tax rate, if recognized, is $998,000, with the difference between the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits and the amount that would impact the effective tax rate being primarily related to the federal tax benefit of state income tax items. It is not reasonably possible to determine if the liability for unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change prior to December 31, 2015 due to the uncertainty of possible examination results. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, is as follows (in thousands):
|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | 2012 |
Balance at beginning of year |  | $ | 949 |  |  | $ | 1,045 |  |  | $ | 1,532 |
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year |  |  | 470 |  |  |  | 239 |  |  |  | 165 |
Additions for tax positions of prior years |  |  | 39 |  |  |  | 114 |  |  |  | 53 |
Reductions for tax positions of prior years |  |  | (287 | ) |  |  | (413 | ) |  |  | (502 | )
Settlements |  |  | — |  |  |  | (36 | ) |  |  | (203 | )
Balance at end of year |  | $ | 1,171 |  |  | $ | 949 |  |  | $ | 1,045 |
The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for federal and state income taxes. The Company recognized net expense (credit) of $40,000, $(421,000) and $(43,000) in interest and penalties for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company had $306,000, $266,000 and $790,000 of accrued liabilities for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
