The amounts recorded as deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 represent the amount of tax benefits of existing deductible temporary differences that are more likely than not to be realized through the generation of sufficient future taxable income. The Company had gross deferred tax assets of approximately $11.6 million on December 31, 2024, that it believes are more likely than not to be realized. Management reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets during each reporting period. The actual tax provision for the years presented differs from that derived from using a U.S federal statutory rate of 21% to income before income tax expense as follows:
|  | Years Ended December 31, |
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
U.S. federal statutory rate |  |  | 21.0 | % |  |  | 21.0 | % |  |  | 21.0 | %
Increase (decrease) in income taxes resulting from: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
State taxes, net of federal tax benefit |  |  | 3.0 |  |  |  | 2.7 |  |  |  | 3.2 |
Tax credits |  |  | (0.3 | ) |  |  | (0.1 | ) |  |  | (0.7 | )
Return to provision adjustments |  |  | 0.3 |  |  |  | (3.2 | ) |  |  | - |
Foreign rate differential |  |  | (7.7 | ) |  |  | (9.3 | ) |  |  | (3.7 | )

The Company’s foreign subsidiary earnings are subject to current U.S. taxation under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which also repealed U.S. taxation on the subsequent repatriation of those earnings. The Company intends to repatriate substantially all of its future foreign subsidiary earnings. The repatriation of earnings outside of the U.S. generally does not represent a material net tax impact to the Company. The withholding taxes associated with the Company’s earnings in the Dominican Republic are fully creditable against the Company US tax liability and therefore do not produce any incremental tax consequences. The earnings of the Company’s other foreign subsidiaries, and therefore the withholding taxes associated with those earnings, are not material for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions, as well as in Ireland and Costa Rica. It currently does not have a local filing obligation with respect to its subsidiaries in the Dominican Republic. The Company has been audited by the following states: income tax returns filed in Michigan which have been audited through 2004, income tax returns filed in Massachusetts which have been audited through 2021, income tax returns filed in Florida which have been audited through 2019, income tax returns filed in New Jersey which have been audited through 2012, income tax returns in Colorado which have been audited through 2017, income tax returns in Iowa which have been audited through 2019, and income tax returns in Illinois which have been audited through 2021. Federal and state tax returns for the years 2021 through 2023 remain open to examination by the IRS and various state jurisdictions. The Company’s non-US tax returns in Ireland and Costa Rica remain open for the years 2020 through 2023. The Company applies the accounting guidance in ASC 740 to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company’s reserves related to taxes are based on determination of whether, and how much of, a tax benefit taken by the Company in its tax filings or positions, is more likely than not to be realized following resolution of any potential contingencies present related to the tax benefit. The following is a roll forward of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits (“UTB”) (in thousands):
|  | December 31, |
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
Gross UTB balance at beginning of fiscal year |  | $ | 670 |  |  | $ | - |
Gross increases - tax positions of prior years |  |  | 106 |  |  |  | 670 |
Settlement of tax positions |  |  | (776 | ) |  |  | - |
Gross UTB balance at end of fiscal year |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 670 |
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had recorded zero unrecognized tax benefits. The Company closed audits with the IRS and the state of Massachusetts during the year and reduced previously recorded uncertain tax benefits to zero as a result of closing those audits. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an uncertain tax benefit of $670 thousand related to disputed research credits taken in prior year’s federal tax returns. The audit was completed and closed in 2024 and, accordingly the amount was paid, and the liability was satisfied. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax benefits in income tax expense.
