Park also had a net deferred tax asset balance related to state NOL carryforwards of approximately $0.6 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which expire at various dates from 2030-2039. Park performs an analysis to determine if a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is required in accordance with U.S. GAAP. At December 31, 2024, management determined that it was required to establish a $0.6 million state tax valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets generated by one of its non-bank subsidiaries since it was not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be fully utilized in future periods. No valuation allowance was required for the year ended December 31, 2023. The components of the provision for federal income taxes are shown below:
