Included in deferred income tax assets at December 31, 2019 are tax benefits totaling $239.3 million, before valuation allowances, for the tax loss carryforwards. In addition the Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of $29.3 million, related to tax attributes. The Company has recorded $217.2 million of valuation allowance to offset the tax benefit of net operating losses, $56.2 million to offset the tax benefit of foreign tax credits, and $14.6 million of valuation allowance for other deferred tax assets. The Company has recorded these valuation allowances due to the uncertainty that these assets can be realized in the future. The Company has provided $3.5 million of withholding taxes on certain undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries that the Company anticipates will be repatriated. Tax Contingencies The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2019 is approximately $26.0 million, of this total, approximately $24.4 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate. It is reasonably possible that certain amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months of the reporting date of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Final settlement and resolution of outstanding tax matters in various jurisdictions during the next twelve months could include unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $5.8 million. Of this approximately $5.3 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized would affect the effective income tax rate. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties were $2.5 million and $4.1 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company has consistently classified interest and penalties recognized in its consolidated financial statements as income taxes based on the accounting policy election of the Company. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized income tax expense of $0.6 million and $0.5 million respectively, related to interest and penalties. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized income tax benefit of $1.5 million, related to interest and penalties.

U.S. Federal Legislative Changes On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act" or "U.S. tax reform") was enacted. U.S. tax reform, among other things, reduced the U.S. federal income tax rate to 21% in 2018 from 35%, instituted a dividends received deduction for foreign earnings with a related tax for the deemed repatriation of unremitted foreign earnings and created a new U.S. minimum tax on earnings of foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for enactment effects of the Act and provides a measurement period of up to one year from the Act’s enactment date for companies to complete their accounting under Accounting Standards Codification No. 740 “Income Taxes”, (“ASC 740”). In accordance with SAB 118, income tax effects of the Act were refined upon obtaining, preparing, and analyzing additional information during the measurement period. At December 31, 2018 the Company had completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Act.
