Under provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 174, beginning in fiscal year 2023 specific research and experimental (“R&E”) expenditures are now required to be capitalized and amortized over five years for U.S. R&E and fifteen years for foreign R&E. The valuation allowance primarily applies to net operating loss carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions under conditions where realization is not more likely than not. The $4 million decrease in the valuation allowance during fiscal year 2023 primarily relates to losses in a foreign subsidiary that have expired prior to utilization. At November 30, 2023, we have federal and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $92.0 million expiring on various dates through 2097 and $27.0 million that do not expire. In addition, we have state net operating loss carryforwards of $69.0 million expiring on various dates through 2043 and a minimal amount that does not expire. At November 30, 2023, we have state tax credit carryforwards of approximately $2.3 million expiring on various dates through 2038 and $2.9 million that may be carried forward indefinitely. In addition, we have federal tax credit carryforwards of approximately $7.1 million expiring on various dates through 2039. It is our intention to indefinitely reinvest the earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Provisions have not been made for non-U.S. withholding taxes or other applicable taxes on $105.6 million of undistributed earnings as of November 30, 2023, as these earnings have been indefinitely reinvested. It is not practicable to determine the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability if the undistributed earnings were to be repatriated due to the complexity of the income tax laws and regulations. These earnings could be subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes and other federal, state and/or foreign taxes if they were remitted to the U.S. As of November 30, 2023, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $5.2 million, of which $0.8 million was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and $4.4 million as a reduction of deferred tax assets, principally related to U.S net operating loss carry-forwards and federal and state research and development tax credits. A reconciliation of the balance of our unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):
| Fiscal Year Ended
| November 30, 2023 |  | November 30, 2022 |  | November 30, 2021
Balance, beginning of year | $ | 5,276 |  |  | $ | 5,471 |  |  | $ | 6,219 |
Tax positions related to current period | — |  |  | — |  |  | 71 |
Tax positions related to a prior period | 19 |  |  | — |  |  | (820) |
Tax positions acquired | 423 |  |  | — |  |  | 439 |
Settlements with tax authorities | (367) |  |  | (45) |  |  | (168) |
Lapses due to expiration of the statute of limitations | (179) |  |  | (150) |  |  | (270) |
Balance, end of year | $ | 5,172 |  |  | $ | 5,276 |  |  | $ | 5,471 |
If recognized, all amounts of unrecognized tax benefits would affect the effective tax rate. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of our provision for income taxes. In fiscal year 2023 a net benefit of $0.8 million was recorded to the provision for income taxes related to interest and penalties. In fiscal year 2022 there was a minimal amount of estimated interest and penalties recorded in the provision for income taxes. In fiscal year 2021 a net expense of $0.8 million was recorded to the provision for income taxes related to estimated interest and penalties. We have accrued $0.5 million and $1.3 million of estimated interest and penalties at November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We do not expect any significant changes to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. Our federal income tax returns have been examined or are closed by statute for all years prior to fiscal year 2020. Our state income tax returns have been examined or are closed by statute for all years prior to fiscal year 2019, and we are no longer subject to audit for those periods. Tax authorities for certain non-U.S. jurisdictions are also examining tax returns for various years dating back to 2016 and the Company does not expect the results of these examinations to be material to our consolidated balance sheets, cash flows or statements of income. With some exceptions, we are generally no longer subject to tax examinations in non-U.S. jurisdictions for years prior to fiscal year 2018.
