Net Deferred Tax Liability |  | $ | 187,937 |  |  | $ | 165,382 |
Long-Term Deferred Tax Liability, net at December 31, 2020 increased $22.6 million from December 31, 2019 primarily due to certain tax amortization deductions being in excess of book amortization and an increase in intangible assets associated with first quarter 2020 acquisitions (see Note (10) for additional information). At December 31, 2020, Federated Hermes had deferred tax assets related to state and foreign tax net operating loss carryforwards in certain taxing jurisdictions in the aggregate of $74.3 million. The state net operating losses will expire through 2040, while most foreign net operating losses do not expire. A valuation allowance has been recognized for $51.6 million (or 100%) of the deferred tax asset for state tax net operating losses, and for $9.5 million (or 42%) of the deferred tax asset for foreign tax net operating losses. The valuation allowances were recorded due to management's belief that it is more likely than not that Federated Hermes will not realize the full benefit of these net operating losses. For the deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance related to foreign net operating losses, management believes that it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefit of these net operating losses based on projections of future taxable income for the entities to which these relate. At December 31, 2019, Federated Hermes had deferred tax assets related to state and foreign tax net operating loss carryforwards in certain taxing jurisdictions in the aggregate of $71.7 million. The state net operating losses will expire through 2039, while most foreign net operating losses do not expire. A valuation allowance has been recognized for $49.4 million (or 100%) of the deferred tax asset for state tax net operating losses, and for $8.4 million (or 38%) of the deferred tax asset for foreign tax net operating losses. The valuation allowances were recorded due to management's belief that it is more likely than not that Federated Hermes will not realize the full benefit of these net operating losses. For the deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance related to foreign net operating losses, management believes that it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefit of these net operating losses based on projections of future taxable income for the entities to which these relate. Federated Hermes' remaining deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 primarily related to compensation-related expenses that have been recognized for book purposes but are not yet deductible for tax purposes. Management believes that it is more likely than not that Federated Hermes will receive the full benefit of these deferred tax assets due to the expectation that Federated Hermes will generate taxable income well in excess of these amounts in the years they become deductible. Federated Hermes and its subsidiaries file annual income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state and local jurisdictions, and in certain foreign jurisdictions. Based upon its review of these filings, there were no material unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020 or 2019. Therefore, there were no material changes during 2020, and no reasonable possibility of a significant increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
