During the years ended December 26, 2015, December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, $26,300, $91,100 and $413,600 respectively, was directly credited to stockholders’ equity to account for excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises. The Company has assessed its taxable earnings history and prospective future taxable income. Based upon this assessment, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will be realized in future periods and no valuation allowance is necessary, except for the deferred tax assets related to the loss from and impairment of equity and note investments (which are capital losses for tax purposes). As a result, valuation allowances of $4.1 million and $4.1 million as of December 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, respectively, have been recorded. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, as of December 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, was $489,200 and $465,500, respectively, primarily for potential state taxes. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense for all periods presented. The Company had accrued approximately $19,300 and $16,500 for the payment of interest and penalties at December 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, respectively. The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits:
|  | Total |
Balance at December 28, 2013 |  | $ | 383,700 |
Increases related to current year tax positions |  | 136,500 |
Additions for tax positions of prior years |  | 1,600 |
Expiration of the statute of limitations for the assessment of taxes |  | (72,800 | )
Balance at December 27, 2014 |  | 449,000 |
Increases related to current year tax positions |  | 114,700 |
Subtractions for tax positions of prior years |  | (8,000 | )
Expiration of the statute of limitations for the assessment of taxes |  | (85,800 | )
Balance at December 26, 2015 |  | $ | 469,900 |
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal, numerous state and certain foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2011. We expect various statutes of limitation to expire during the next 12 months. Due to the uncertain response of taxing authorities, a range of outcomes cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
