We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we recognized no interest and penalties and we recognized less than $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 of interest and penalties. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had no unrecognized tax benefits. We do not expect a significant change to the unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.

We file tax returns in the U.S. and in various state, local, and non-U.S. jurisdictions. The following table summarizes the earliest tax years that remain subject to examination by taxing authorities in any major jurisdiction in which we operate:

We use the liability method for reporting income taxes, under which current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in accordance with enacted tax laws and rates. Under this method, at the end of each period, the amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. We establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, in determining whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed for some portion or all of our deferred tax assets. In determining the need for a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets we placed greater weight on recent and objectively verifiable current information, as compared to more forward-looking information that is used in valuating other assets on the balance sheet. While we have considered taxable income in prior carryback years, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to realize our net deferred tax assets. Significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are netted by jurisdiction in our consolidated balance sheets. Net deferred tax assets are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities netted by jurisdiction as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

We believe that it is more likely than not we will not realize all the tax benefits of the deferred tax assets within the allowable carryforward period. Therefore, an appropriate valuation allowance has been provided. The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 primarily relates to federal deferred tax assets. The $5.4 million decrease in the valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to the decrease in deferred tax assets related to utilization of loss carryforwards.

At December 31, 2023, we had federal, state, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards/carrybacks equal to approximately $75.8 million, $10.3 million, and $8.9 million, respectively. In those countries and states in which net operating losses are subject to an expiration period, our loss carryforwards, if not utilized, will expire at various dates from 2024 through 2043. Utilization of the net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be subject to a significant annual limitation due to ownership changes that have occurred previously or could occur in the future provided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
