For the year ended December 31, 2020, the effective tax rate was impacted by a valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets in the U.S. and other foreign jurisdictions and nondeductible goodwill impairment. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the effective tax rate was impacted by a valuation allowance in the U.S., Canada and other foreign jurisdictions, nondeductible goodwill impairment and recognition of deferred taxes related to outside basis differences in subsidiaries classified as held for sale. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the effective tax rate was impacted by a valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets in the U.S., Canada and other foreign jurisdictions and utilization of foreign tax credits related to earnings of foreign subsidiaries that were previously deferred. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act contains several tax law changes for corporations, including modifications for net operating loss carrybacks, the refundability of prior-year minimum tax liability, limitations on business interest and limitations on charitable contribution deductions. These benefits did not impact the Company’s provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2020. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows (in millions):

The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on the ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future and in the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. If the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The Company remains in a three year cumulative loss position at the end of 2020. As a result, management believes that it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company would be able to realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets in the U.S., Canada and other foreign jurisdictions and accordingly recognized a valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2020. The change during the year in the valuation allowance was $58 million in the U.S. and $3 million in other foreign jurisdictions. There are no uncertain tax positions as of any of the periods presented. To the extent penalties and interest would be assessed on any underpayment of income tax, such accrued amounts are classified as a component of income tax provision (benefit) in the financial statements consistent with the Company’s policy. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not record any income tax expense for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S., various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has significant operations in the U.S. and Canada and to a lesser extent in various other international jurisdictions. Tax years that remain subject to examination vary by legal entity, but are generally open in the U.S. for the tax years ending after 2016 and outside the U.S. for the tax years ending after 2014. In the U.S., the Company has $315 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2020, $218 million will expire between 2036 through 2037 and $97 million have no expiration. The potential tax benefit of $66 million has been reduced by a $66 million valuation allowance. In addition to a reduction in future income tax expense, future income tax payments will also be reduced in the event the Company ultimately realizes the benefit of these net operating losses. The Company has $181 million of state net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2020, which will expire between 2021 through 2040, with the majority expiring after 2034. The potential tax benefit of $10 million has been reduced by a $10 million valuation allowance. Outside the U.S., the Company has $15 million of net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2020, of which $12 million have no expiration and $3 million will expire between 2021 and 2040. The potential tax benefit of $3 million has been reduced by a $3 million valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has $7 million of excess foreign tax credits in the U.S. The foreign tax credits will expire between 2024 and 2027. The potential tax benefit of $7 million has been reduced by a $7 million valuation allowance. In addition to future income tax expense, future income tax payments will also be reduced in the event the Company ultimately realizes the benefit of these foreign tax credits. As of December 31, 2020, the amount of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries was approximately $12 million. With the exception of the Company’s earnings in Canada and the United Kingdom, the Company’s foreign earnings continue to be indefinitely reinvested. The Company makes a determination each period whether to permanently reinvest these earnings. If, as a result of these reassessments, the Company distributes these earnings in the future, additional tax liabilities would result, offset by any available foreign tax credits. No additional income taxes have been provided for any additional outside basis differences inherent in the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, as these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested. Determining the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to any additional outside basis differences in these entities is not practicable. Because of the number of tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, its effective tax rate can fluctuate as operations and the local country tax rates fluctuate. The Company is also subject to audits by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions which may result in proposed assessments. The Company’s future tax provision will reflect any favorable or unfavorable adjustments to its estimated tax liabilities when resolved. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters. However, the Company believes that none of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.
