As part of the Trinity Capital Corporation acquisition in 2019, the company acquired net operating loss, tax credit, and capital loss deferred tax assets. Net operating losses originated in the years 2012, 2014-2017, and 2019 and will expire in the years between 2032-2037. Tax credit carryforwards originated in years 2010-2015 and will expire in the years between 2030-3035. Capital losses originated in 2015, 2016, & 2018 and will expire in the years betwee n 2021-2023. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion of the assets will not be realized. In 2019, as part of the Trinity Capital Corporation acquisition, the company acquired net operating loss, tax credit, and capital loss deferred tax assets. The company determined that it was more likely than not that some of the assets would not be realized. As such, the company recorded a $2.9 million valuation allowance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the federal jurisdiction and in twenty-nine states. The Company is no longer subject to federal, state or local income tax audits by tax authorities for years before 2017, with the exception of 2016 being an open year by one state taxing authority. Net operating losses generated prior to 2016 that are utilized going forward would still be subject to examination. As of December 31, 2020, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $3.2 million and the total amount of net unrecognized tax benefits that would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized, was $3.1 million. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the total amount of the net unrecognized tax benefits that would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized, was $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the gross amount of unrecognized benefits will be reduced by approximately $0.3 million as a result of a lapse of statute of limitations in the next 12 months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense and classifies such interest and penalties in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The amount accrued for interest and penalties was $0.9 million as of December 31, 2020, and was not significant for 2019 and 2018. The activity in the gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits was as follows:
