For the year ended December 31, 2024, tax credits and other benefits recognized was $21.3 million and the tax credit amortization expense included in the provision for income taxes was $17.4 million. The following table presents the balances of the Company's tax credit investments and related unfunded commitments at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

There were no significant unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024 and 2023. We do not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. The Company is subject to income taxes in the federal, California, Arizona and three other non-material jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by taxing jurisdictions for periods before 2020, with the exception of California, for which the Company is no longer subject to examination for years before 2013. At December 31, 2024, the Company has net operating loss (NOLs) carryforwards of approximately $7.9 million for federal and $7.9 million California tax purposes, as a result of the acquisition of Suncrest Bank. The federal and California NOLs of approximately $6.4 and $5.7 million, respectively, are subject to annual IRC Section 382 limitations of $3.4 million and have no expiration for federal tax purposes but will expire in 2032 for California if not utilized. The balance of the NOLs are subject to annual IRC Section 382 limitations of $314,000 and will begin to expire in 2030. The Company considered the need for a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company considered income in prior periods, projected future income, and projected future reversals of deferred tax items in making the determination that the deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.
