The current (benefit) provision for federal and state income taxes shown above includes federal and state income tax after the consideration of permanent and temporary differences between income for U.S. GAAP and tax purposes. The deferred tax (benefit) provision results from the recognition of changes in our prior year deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the utilization of federal and state NOL carryforwards and other temporary differences. We reduce income tax expense for tax credits in the year they arise and are earned. On December 31, 2024, our gross amount of tax credits available to offset state income taxes was $5.5 million ($4.3 million net of federal benefit). Most of these tax credits carryforward for 9 years and begin expiring in 2025. The gross amount of federal tax credits was $8.1 million. These credits carryforward for 20 years and begin expiring in 2034. In 2024, we utilized approximately $30.8 million and $12.9 million of federal and state NOL carryforwards, respectively, to reduce tax liabilities. In 2023, we utilized approximately $76.7 million and $66.0 million of federal and state NOL carryforwards, respectively, to reduce tax liabilities. In 2022, we utilized approximately $240.0 million and $243.0 million of federal and state NOL carryforwards, respectively, to reduce tax liabilities. On December 31, 2024, we have remaining federal and state tax NOL carryforwards of $243.9 million and $342.7 million, respectively. The federal NOL carryforwards begin expiring in 2037 and the state NOL carryforwards begin expiring in 2026. We considered both positive and negative evidence in our determination of the need for valuation allowances for the deferred tax assets associated with federal and state NOLs and federal credits and in conjunction with the IRC Section 382 limitation. Information evaluated includes our financial position and results of operations for the current and preceding years, the availability of deferred tax liabilities and tax carrybacks, as well as an evaluation of currently available information about future years. Valuation allowances are reflective of our quarterly analysis of the four sources of taxable income, including the calculation of the reversal of existing tax assets and liabilities, the impact of annual utilization limitations of interest expense and net operating losses and our results of operations. Based on our analysis, we believe that it is more-likely-than-not that all of our federal deferred tax assets will be utilized and a portion of our state deferred tax assets will not be able to be utilized. Information relati ng to our valuation allowance is included in the tables below. In 2024, the benefit for income taxes includes a net decrease of approximately $0.9 million of state valuation allowance primarily due to changes in state apportionment causing the remeasurement of state deferred balances partially offset by changes in future taxable income. There is no federal valuation allowance remaining as of December 31, 2024 or 2023. Deferred tax assets and liabilities include temporary differences and carryforwards as follows:

All of our income (loss) before taxes relates to domestic operations. Detailed below are the differences between the amount of the provision (benefit) for income taxes and the amount which would result from the application of the federal statutory rate to “Income (loss) before benefit for income taxes.”

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of uncertain tax positions is as follows:
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
|  | (In Thousands) |
Balance at beginning of year |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Reductions for tax positions of prior years |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Balance at end of year |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
We expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change as the result of ongoing operations, the outcomes of audits, and the expiration of statute of limitations. This change is not expected to have a significant effect on our results of operations or financial conditio n. As of December 31, 2024, there is no remaining uncertain tax position. We record interest related to unrecognized tax positions in interest expense and penalties in operating other expense. For 2024, 2023 and 2022, there were no accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions. LSB and certain of its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the 2021-2024 years remain open for all purposes of examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service and other major tax jurisdictions. Additionally, the 2013-2020 years remain subject to examination for determining the amount of net operating loss and other carryforwards.
