​ 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) and the foreign tax credits. As a result, valuation allowances of $2.8 million and $2.8 million as of December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively, have been recorded. ​ The amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, as of December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, was $621,100 and $532,500, 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 $111,000 and $33,500 for the payment of interest and penalties at December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively. ​ The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | Total |
Balance at December 29, 2018 | ​ | $ | 551,300 | ​
Increases related to current year tax positions | ​ |  | 131,900 | ​
Expiration of the statute of limitations for the assessment of taxes | ​ |  | (184,200) | ​
Balance at December 28, 2019 | ​ | ​ | 499,000 | ​
Increases related to current year tax positions | ​ |  | 144,500 | ​
Subtractions for tax positions of prior years | ​ |  | (133,400) | ​
Balance at December 26, 2020 | ​ | $ | 510,100 | ​
​ 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 2016. 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.
